G'Day, My forward sweep is not good! When stationary I can get a forward sweep to move a sea kayak about 45 degrees but when moving the forward sweep gives only about 20 degrees - less on choppy water unless I'm on top of a wave. This compares with 90 degrees rotation for a reverse sweep whether moving or stationary. Attempts to do better wind up improving nothing but my roll:~). Can anyone tell me what should be possible and suggest techniques to improve without too much capsizing. I'm finding this to be one of the most difficult manovers - harder than learning how to roll in fact! All the best and thanks, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
