Part of my idea of landing backwards was to try to avoid doing too much real surfing. Seems like if I'm facing a wave, I can paddle forward to avoid the crashing face of the wave but still use some of that momentum to move me into shore. As a new paddler I just feel more comfortable facing the waves then having them sneak in behind me. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
