I find going in backwards offers me a whole lot more control over the waves, I find it easier to push over a big wave than try back paddle to avoid take off. Going backwards makes it so i am ready to take on the waves coming in...same as when going out... I started doing this a couple years ago, when loaded [the boat that is] and in isolated areas. I really took to it and do this all the time now... *************************************************************************** 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 Fri Nov 06 1998 - 23:46:29 PST
