enjoyed the video. are you using any kind of weight inside at the bow to keep the front end down? I feel like my bow is always riding higher than these look to be.
No, not on this day trip anyway. Just really trying to stay forward and lever down with feet as much as possible. Note difference between Derek in yellow boat and Forrest in the brown boat. Forrest is much more back, so the bow pops up more. Forrest states that he has really tight/weak hamstrings which prevent him from staying forward. Our gang generally agrees now that as little weight in front as possible is best for maneuverability and preventing top-heaviness. -TomT
What a great run!
