[Paddlewise] Storm Paddling?

I've seen a number of references to storm paddling on paddlewise which has
got me curious.
    What is the definition of a storm for paddling,
    Any special techniques (apart from surfing),
    How do you handle the strong winds,
    What is the best sort of kayak - equipment for it,
    How much whiskey must be consumed beforehand!

Cheers
Grant
