My husband has been paddling for many years, but I just started 2 season’s ago. Remembering all the proper terms has been a challenge.
For instance – “Peeling out” means pulling out of an eddy. Yup… got that!
So Eddying out must mean the same thing right?….WRONG!!!
Well, I was using Eddy In and Eddy out. “In” meaning going In to the eddy and “Out” meaning going out of the eddy. Hubby is now really dismayed cause he never really knows what I am talking about. However, he told me that I have invented a whole new term in whitewater kayaking. It is called the “Eddy Over.” Ya…that’s me. Pull into the Eddy and fall over. I've become quite good at this. They tell me it is because I stay on the fence. Good thing I can roll.
Well at least I have all winter to study the terminology. I think Hubby liked it better when I was “Shuttle Bunny”
