In Response To: I've paddled that boat! (Ted Henry)

: I've paddled his boat. The "secondary" really kicks in once you get
: it inverted. ;) All the "primary" came from my paddle. Anyone
: need a translation why this design might not be the best for riding boat
: wakes?

Couldn't agree more. It's the only boat that ever dumped me out by accident. Probably unstable at 5* of heel. But Erik grew up with it, loves it, and doesn't want an upgrade! So be careful what you choose for a first boat.

On the other hand, Erik has developed great balancing and bracing skills, and was the first one back in the boat after the Wet Reentry at R2K1.
