eddy line

We found a nice surf wave, which was a bit difficult to get into because of a strong eddy line.

Crossing an eddy line is one of these situations.

However, right at the eddy line near shore, the waves abate enough to allow us passage.

Not much was visible in the river proper, but the eddy lines had very prominent and powerful whirlpools.

Brace turns; this skill is best demonstrated when crossing well defined eddy lines.

Following the calm pool the river constricts slightly as it makes a large right turn and a great eddy line is formed to practice in.

In a low brace turn, the sweep should be started just before the bow of your kayak hits the eddy line.

The forward volume resists 'crash-diving' down river eddy lines and stopper holes.

It is about finding the eddy line – the natural, true line down the river, with the river, with the flow of nature.

Eddy Line: Transitional area between main current and eddy current.

Much of river canoeing is finding the eddy line between impossible turbulence and impossible counter currents or still water.

Head for the V that the eddy line makes, spot for logs, rocks and over hanging branches as you are approaching the change of water.

Not only does it help turn the boat, but it forces the paddler to lean the proper way when crossing the daunting eddy line.

Cross the eddy line.

Squirt boat - a long, extremely low-volume boat designed to sink below the surface in eddy lines.

A breakout from a fast wave takes you across the eddy line into a chaotic mass of boiling water, which fall and rise at erratic rates.

The Air is designed to get super-sized aerials and cartwheel on as many waves, holes and eddy lines as possible.

There was a small drop there, but in the reverse direction, i.e. true upstream was lower than downstream, and interesting eddy lines.

As in all eddy turns, set a proper 45 degree boat angle aiming for the top of the eddy, where the eddy line is sharpest.

Buddy Miller, on lead guitar, provided low-slung Duane Eddy lines or gnarled Celtic phrases.

I've been tripped up and rolled over by an eddy line on the edge of what some people might call a Class II rapid - if they're being kind.

Someone throws you a line, or you cross an eddy line, or your boat shoots by - another fast-moving wish - and you try and grab it.

Stage two measures what happens to the kayaker as the eddy line is crossed, using the human senses of balance, sight, touch and sound to monitor what is happening to the boat.

At three gates the wave train after the main play waves can become a great source of amusement as involuntary ends and rolls can be achieved in the strong eddy lines and boils.

The eddy line becomes a metaphor for civilization – that is for societies that live a long time precisely because they learn how to live with their place, rather than brutishly attempting to defeat it.
