The reality is that the type of brace used is dependent on the hight of the wave. A low brace, with edging, can be used on "baby" waves. As the waves become larger a high brace is probably preferable. It's quit an rush the first few times you brace into the wave - getting a good ride and realizing the brace and edging works. Injuries are always a risk, so you need to keep your hands and arms in the "safety" box. So practice proper technique when possible and then apply when the opportunity presents itself. sid who has been trashed in the surf and survived to do it again *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jul 19 2000 - 14:10:19 PDT
