Grace, finesse, agility? Why of >course! Endurance, discipline and commend sense can be had by all! I usually paddle & practice alone so don't often get to see others strutting their stuff. However, I never expect to see anyone as stylish or graceful in an 18 foot sea kayak as the young woman instructor I had on a week long session a couple of years ago in Maine. All of her maneuvers were so effortless and elegant that I'd just as soon watch her as do them myself. Ok, she was real pretty and super nice too but that was just a bonus. *************************************************************************** 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 Feb 11 1999 - 14:29:59 PST
