Hi everyone-I need help! I've caught the bug and need knowledge. I've recently gone from a two man rec Kayak to a one man creeker (WaveSport Mutant). To say it is a big change is an understatement. I realize I need lessons but none are avail until the spring-plus there is only a couple more times for me before winter anyways. I am enrolled in a rolling clinic in December. But the bug has hit and I can't stop running the streams. They are running pretty fast right now and I am wondering if these damn boats turn or what? So here are my questions... Can you turn these creekers other than by agressively paddling and/or ruddering? Can these Mutants be put up on edge and carve? And is that how you make a turn? I've watched a video but it doesn't have a single creekboat in it. My problem is when the water is rushing fast and the creek turns-I feel like I'm being pushed right into the bank and then WHAM-underwater I go. If I'm not mistaken you lean away from the current (devils fingers) but I guess I don't see how you can turn that way. Everything else seems ok. I can enter the eddy's alright and all that but I can't turn/steer. Its me right? I'm not really looking for a lesson just an answer to my questions in a simple yes/no format. Any additional help you want to toss in would be appreated. Thanks everyone!!!!! PS-this ain't easy is it! hehehehehehe [email protected]
