You can feel the paddle stall, or go deeper into stall. This is extremely intuitive as (once experienced) we constantly adjust blade angle to get the right bite. Like intercepting a fly ball, it's something any practiced child can do, but would cost millions to try and get a machine to do it. Steve Brown -----Original Message----- ....... How does one compensate for the variability in angle of attack due to the ever changing flow direction in waves? (with the wave at the crest, vertical down on the front face, against the wave direction in the trough and vertically up on the back and, of course, everything in between) Cheers John Winters *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
