When one is in a nasty tailwind that pushes one all over the place, what is one to do? Is there a trick to dealing with this madness besides having a wild zig-zag party?
In our experience do your best to keep the boat moving. Keep putting the strokes in and keep your weight on the paddle blade as much as possible. Try your best to ride out the conditions, and remember corrective strokes before the boat goes is better than reacting after you have already started to run hard to the right or left.
