I would think that lack of group > paddling experience does not mean lack of group dynamics experience. It's different. While some aspects of group dynamics can apply to group paddling, I think unique things happen on the water that make the experience not analogous to other group situations. It has to do with movement of the water, differences in boats, skills, etc. That is why I think one who does not paddle with groups is probably not in a good position to comment. ralph diaz > > *************************************************************************** > PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List > Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net > Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net > Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ > *************************************************************************** -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
