Canoe and kayak safety
what you need is formal instruction from a certified paddling instructor.
You must take at least four courses, then attach the framed certificates autographed by your wealthy certified paddling instructors to the sides of your boat where they will serve as hydrofoils. that will keep you from flipping over so much. If you are still havign problems then I'm afraind you will have to swallow your pride and add sponsons to your boat. Nobody likes to be seen in a boat with training wheels but if safety is your real goal, and not looking like a waterborne stud in rut, then sponsons are essential. PS - if you are paddling with some sort of physical or mental handicap we can give you advice tailored to your individual needs, but we'd need specifics. You are fortunate in that there are certified paddling instructors whoare qualified to teach paddling to people with a number of specific personal challenges. Paddling is for everyone. Don't flip out. You can do it!!! We don't guarantee you will enjoy it. But you CAN do it.

I was thinking of attaching some kind of hard shelled extra floation on each side, so that I might not flip over so much. Any guidance? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
