Understanding Waves for Paddlers

This is the second video for novice OC6 steers-persons, to help them understand the waves and how to read the water. Actually it only gives the fundamentals, because it takes a lot of practice or time on the water to begin to see all that is going on. For some it comes naturally they, can feel the water.

I would add for solo paddling to know your fitness levels too. Esp if the wind picks up and you get into some choppy stuff. You're going to need to have a bit of power in reserve to pick up speed and turn or change waka angle and you may have to do this several times. Know your distance limits and don't head too far offshore if the weather looks iffy.

Really good point. Strong wind shifts, building waves, and currents can create problems really quickly.

Seat two needs to learn how to keep timing BIG TIME🧐

[@PGAmaboy]

And seat one needs to keep the pace even. Some of those guys were novices.
