Yawing
« on: August 10, 2009, 12:22:01 AM »
Has anyone thought of adding a keel fin in the center on very short SUPs to help prevent yawing during take-off paddling?

Perhaps a keel fin with a very wide base but short length and placed far enough forward that it would be out of the water while on a plane.  I' guessing it would catch here and there when you don't want it to, but its just a thought.

great idea

you need a retractable one - down for paddle and up for waves

maybe motor driven with a remote control button on the end of yr paddle
