Reading the "chine posts" makes me ask, "Am I nuts???" My Arctic Hawk has chines anyone would call "hard", and it has a ton of secondary stability. I always thought the combinatin of hard chines and flare was a recipe for secondary stability. I also thought the whole point to soft chines was less initial and secondary stability so that it is easier to push through the rough stuff and that both types of stability came from resistance. rwmct, who is a little confused by all of this. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
