>>I agree the skills you learn in WW can only make you a better sea kayaker.
Just not many rivers in my neck of the woods! I'll have to look into taking
a course sometime.


   I have never done whitewater, but I know a lot of whitewater paddlers who show up at the surf beach during the off season, and I believe, from talking to them, that playing in the ocean surf uses most of the same skills that whitewater paddling does, and is more directly applicable to what we do in sea kayaks.

Just my two cents,
