: I would think you could use your paddle for directional stability, just like
: a sweep stroke while in the water. Or, if you have a rudder...
Been there done that the paddle does not work make sure that there are no trees, rocks, are people who are not soft below you. You move much to fast for the paddle to work. Chip I have always glissaded on my feet, is the butt method a northwest thing?
