The best waves are when they have the trottle pushed all the way forward but have not yet gotten up on a plane. -- One of the most fun things to do in a kayak, IMHO, is to sit in an eddy in Deception Pass, WA, during a big tidal flow and wait for the BIG cruisers <30-80'ers> to push through the pass. Soon as the wakes they set up bounce off the vertical, granite walls of the pass and push the tidal stream into awesome waves, you can ferry out and find BIG waves perfect for surfing. It'll really test your skills! Mid channel traffic, fast tidal stream current (5-8 knots), large waves (3-6'), clapotis, huge eddies, cold water, etc. You get the picture. ;-) steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
