G'Day Scott, Thanks for that analysis. I'm one of those who have real problems getting out of a boat in even small dumping surf. Partly because mine is a narrow cockpit boat. During Easter week I'll be facing a fair bit of moderate but possibly awkward surf so, really appreciate your suggestions. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
