So what sort of an adjustable handicapping device could be used for
rolling practice to properly simulate aerated water -- and how could
you calibrate it? Thanks.


Maybe you could use aerators like in ponds and calibrate it by the cfm
consumption.


Well, I was thinking more in the direction of a counter-torque applied
to the kayak by something like a float -- but maybe a better idea
would just be a paddle with extra small blade or maybe a blade drilled
full of holes?
