  I found out that when the first wave comes instead of bracing it's better to time your stroke and the paddle should catch in that wave with that stroke. It's also a brace and you don't lose that much momentum. It's hard to overcome the instinct and i brace too much as well. But sometimes im brave 😅

  Yes I know, sometimes I manage to take the wave directly without bracing, it depends on the boat I'm paddling and on the waves I guess, and my form for the day haha...😂

  As I have the luxury to paddle both I can say that I prefer both the Nelo Viper 46 and the NK Storm 570 but for different reasons. As for the above example with long big waves I definitely prefer the Storm 570, as for smaller and shorter waves I would prefer the Viper 46. Congratulations to the new Nelo Viper 46 btw, a very fun boat to paddle; small, quick and very easy to manoeuvre. I also guess it to be a bit more tippy than the 540, but one or two sessions with it and you're home:)! I'm looking forward to see some films with it...😊
