In Response To: Re: Rough Water Play article in WaveLength (reid)

: Wing shouldn't be a problem. Wing is the only paddle type that I use and my
: surfski is a lot more sensitive than a QCC (my Q600 is more fun in short
: steep stuff like that though, much more playful than a 21' boat that gets
: stuffed in the troughs). Low brace and forward stroke are adequate to keep
: one upright in just about any boat in any condition.

I don't disagree with you and I am not knocking wings, I have three. Just an observation, it would take a confident paddler to choose a wing for playing that chop and yet something didn't work.
