Not infrequently I read something on this list which presents things in a
way which is really fresh (to me) and "gels things" in an unusually helpful
way, worth re-reading a few times. Nick Schade's recent post is a great
example. Nick wrote:

<What generally tips people over in normal waves is their reaction to them,
not the boat's .....<snip>.... I suspect it is the greater ease of the
paddler to perform an aggressive brace that improves the apparent
seaworthiness of the less stable boat.>

Well put!!
