In Response To: more questions on edging (skip)

: I'm new to kayaking and I'm paddling a Prijon Yukon Expedition with a fair
: amount of rocker and the boat is proving to be a handful for me to handle.
: My primary problem is when it starts turning it doesn't want to stop. When
: it decides to turn it's determined to complete the turn. One sweep stroke
: isn't strong enough to correct it. (Snip): Suggestions will be appreciated.

A possible problem with the sweep is not transfering enough energy to the boat itself. Push on the footpeg with the foot on the sweep side to ensure that the turning force is actually transferred to the boat.
