Re: [Paddlewise] Outside vs. Inside Edge for Turning in Surf

I just had a thought.... since the Mariner Express behaves something like
your kayak (turns naturally when edged to the outside of the turn) and since
Matt Broze has probably surfed the Express as much as anyone else, I wonder
what technique Matt uses in ocean surf (inside edge or outside edge).

I'm also hoping to drive down there with my pickup truck and 1972 Streamline
21' trailer and stay for a few days at the campground near San Onofre
(assuming the State keeps it open) some time this winter. I'll bring the F-1
down and hope for some gentle surf to get out in. You might rattle around in
my F-1 but it will be interesting to see how Mark likes it.
