Snip fair discussion.

Rather than nonsense, just a different view.

I know, but you can't have a debate when everyone agrees can you? I
still don't see how you manage to go slower than the flow of the water
when going downstream unless you are doing so deliberately or you are
being blown backwards by the wind.

Honestly, sitting in the Inazone waiting for others to catch up/ play on
waves - and not in any eddy, I was slowly drifting downstream, but small
twigs etc were floating slowly past at a faster rate. If we turn sideways to
the current we drift even slower - gives more time to read approaching
rapids.
