Re: [Paddlewise] Better Edging

Has anyone experimented with the effects of changing the seating height on edging?  Would just a folded-up towel make a difference?

One of the problems I am having is that when I edge I feel like I can only
get to about 3.5 and then despite physically straining with knee lift and
side bend the kayak will not heel any further. I am not close to tipping,
I just can not make the kayak heel over further. To even get close to the
tipping point I have to come out of the "J" position and start leaning out.
Once I come out of the "J" and start to lean I feel like I go very quickly
from the 3.5 point to the 5 point even though the kayak does not change
heel angle very much. What I wanted was to be able to get to that 5 point
(or at least closer to it) while still in the "J" position. Is that an
unrealistic expectation?
