This is correct, as the kayak  will slice better this way, but, regardless
of which way you preffer, remember when lifting the kayak that the friction
produced by a heavy flooded kayak is so strong that it can damage your
sprayskirt in the process. Use one hand down the flooded kayak when pulling
up and emptying it so you can prevent it to scratch your sprayskirt.

Sometimes solving one problems leads us into another !
