Or to put it differently they are less tolerant of sloppy technique and require a deliberate hip snap. I encourage people to practice rolling in their Sea kayak not a white water boat for this reason. White water paddlers tend to get narrower boats that feel more like a WW boat and roll easier. Other then this one point I agree with what said you. *************************************************************************** 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 Thu Dec 17 1998 - 04:40:42 PST
