So I started thinking less and just decided to go with what felt right. To put it in Zen terms, "I was one with the water" (: Now I can do a balance brace in wide boats or boats with high aft decks, without the need of a paddle!

I also think Rotation is key,flexi-eskimos. yes tis tricky, i managed it once but not since, I believe I got it by the thought process that it is a position that the greenlanders use to rest, so It shouldn’t be physically tiring, just once the technique is sorted it should feel easy.

I've got to be able to get further out I think. Right now it helps me to have that arm over the back deck and pushing down a bit to keep the boat from rolling over on me.
