Well, it seems to work for Duane, but I've always found edging on one side while ruddering on the other like chewing gum and walking at the same time! I don't like to complicate things. Mark -----Original Message----- I've always heard dropping the edge in the direction of your turn on a wave -- so opposite of a normal kayak turn on flat water. I think the reason is a mostly having the inside edge of the turn bite into the wave near the front though I wonder if also there's some additional affect from how the wave lifts and pushes the stern. -----Original Message----- Kayakers, I consider sea kayak surfing my specialty. When turning or keeping straight on a wave, I almost always edge on the outside of the turn and rudder on the inside. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
