We've been down this road before; IMHO, people who use the high brace are known as "shoulder dislocation patients". I find that the low brace works just as well even on large waves (come to think of it, once the wave is taller than my shoulders, it really doesn't matter how large it is w.r.t. the brace). And now that I'm spending more time in C-2 and C-1, I'm discovering that it's really just as easy to do a low brace and get as much out of it. Mostly, it's a matter of not relying so much on the paddle, but more on the head dink and hipsnap. ---Rsk Rich Kulawiec rsk_at_gsp.org *************************************************************************** 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 - 15:51:15 PDT
