It is a combination of where you point your boat relative to the water, the degree to which you lean your boat, where you position your boat on the wave, and the hull shape of the boat. A lot of folks have difficulty with this because they either don't combine all the elements correctly at the start, or because they over- or under-correct once they have started. -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net] On Behalf Of Craig Jungers . . . I've watched Eric Jackson demonstrate this concept in white water and it's awesome to see. He uses the moving water to help him position the boat and then a few paddle strokes and he's done. . . . *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
