Re: Dynamic Turns

I think I do the turn Haydn describes, not sure... so many words..!!
Here's a clip from youtube with Peter Pedersens 2004 WR,
this is the turn I do and find the most effective, the best advice I can give my students is to think slalom...
you have to touch the wall with one hand then do like a quick hip slide to bring your fin
up against the wall for the kick off, if you think the way you turn your hips quickly in
slalom skiing, you may get it a bit more effective.
I believe the only way to get real good at the turns are to do it again and again, and you will find that your body adapts to become more streamlined, so relax as much as possible,
this will allow the body to do some of it's own adjustments to becoming more efficient.
hmmm, is it okay for the whole little video frame to come up here, should i avoid this in future? if so, how???
