It has to be pretty darn windy (like whitecaps) to go faster than you can paddle, but what the heck, it sure is fun. You asked about the tieing method Katie. If you have grommet holes in the corner of your tarp, I used to use those heavy plastic doo-hickies that come with some garbage bags, you know the kind where you stick the end through a hole in the other end, then kind of "ratchet" it down? You put the pointy end through the grommet hole, then attatch it to the paddle just below the hand grip. But now that they have invented velcro and sell all sizes of those little straps, that would be eaven easier I think. Happy sailing! Posted by lah on April 20, 2002 at 13:27 |
