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

I see Duane's edging to the outside more as a check valve to prevent the
boat from turning in that direction, then his rudder stroke to the opposite
side provides the impetus to turn.
I didn't say that edging a boat like mine with a roundER! hull doesn't do
anything, I just don't think its as effective as edging a hard chined boat!
I can assure you, I've done countless scientific experiments in my bathtub.

I don't know enough about physics or marine engineering to have any idea
what is going on with edging.

I look forward to an explanation that includes some science.
