That's a tough wave to stay on without a good deal of practice. I do think it's the best choice, if you have the skills to make use of it. The stern wake is pretty good and it's easy to stay on. Plus there are several stern waves you can make use of as you close in on another boat. The stern waves are at about 1 boat length intervals. If you look closely you can usually spot 3 to 6 stern waves. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Feb 22 2000 - 08:43:35 PST
