My friend David and I actually practiced something similar to this during our last pool session. I'd hold on to the rudder and randomly try to flip him on either side. It seems like a good way to practice braces as well as rolling up after a surprise dunking. Also, it really gets the adrenaline going as you have no idea which way the boat is suddenly going to lurch. We'll probably do some more of this during the spring on our local practice lakes. A good way to simulate waves is to get two people to raft up holding each others bows, then you just start to aggressively push the bows up and down in the water. This can actually create some sizable pool waves as the boats can displace quite a bit of water. That should make re-entry and rolling move difficult. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 20 1998 - 10:12:06 PDT
