Great addition to the body of knowledge out there! Awesome footage and adding the green for wave interference patterns really helped make it obvious. I wonder - you didn’t mention carving vs a flat hull.
Thanks Stef! Great question. If your eddy exit follows an arcing path, generally tilt the canoe. If your exit involves front surfing out into current, keep the hull flat and save the tilt for arcing off of the wave. There may be exceptions to this technique, but the majority of time, this will enhance stability and lead to a successful eddy exit.
This video is easy to understand for someone like me that need visuals. Thank you for putting in the time for us just getting into white water. Can you please let me know the brand name of that paddle with the carbon handle and wood blade.
Hi Perry, the paddles we use are from Echo Paddles. The wood ones (called The Pursuit) are lovely and Andy Convery does a fantastic job. You can see the paddles at www.echopaddles.com
VERY good instruction! Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad you like it!
