  • @rep353 ikr

  • Kiss the rock, moon the current!

  • You definitely lean toward the object (downstream) to allow the current to flow under your boat. If you lean upstream, the current will grab the upstream edge of your boat and cause you to flip.

  • Is it not lean Away from the object?

  • how do you get away from your knees locking up out of a nekcy or a lobo after paddling in 26 degree weather?

  • aka "pinning". Title "How to learn to Broach" probably needs a "NOT" in there somewhere...

    Still the clip covers all thats needed.

  • got to love those sneaky rocks to make things interesting:)
