Re: [Paddlewise] 1st Time Out with New (to me) Boat

Janet:  I have learned that I have good control with the pegs pretty far
forward.  I can straighten out my leg and my foot is still comfortably on
the footpeg.  However, i need a good brace with the knee.  You might need
pads where the knee comes in contact under the deck.
