Dynamics of eddies are really well explained. For a really dynamic peel out, plant a high brace as you're crossing the eddy line and the boat is starting to spin. The high brace provides support, but also grabs the downstream current so it spins the boat faster, but still surprisingly stable. This is a fun maneuver, but can also be critical to spin faster if you're peeling out into a narrow channel with hazards on the far side.

The dynamics you’re talking about here are the same forces at work when moving INTO an eddy, but in reverse. When entering an eddy you need to edge upstream. Planting a paddle just like you described is also helpful and can give a nice “power slide” feel when you cross the eddy line.

What an amazing channel ! The explanations are superb ! 😁

That’s right, edge downstream! You learn fast!

Great video, thanks

That is the bridge over the Menai Stait, isn't it? Beautiful place, sweet memories. Greetings from Spain.

Very good video! Well explained!

Another awesome lesson. Thx for the info

Why is James in an NDK? Was a P&H paddler a while back. Better boats or more money?
