Static Brace

This is me demonstrating the static brace at the Great Lakes Sea Kayak Symposium in Grand Marais Michigan.

 

The Inuit would use the static brace to rest while at sea. They would lay on their side and use the flotation of their body and paddle to balance the boat. I found this skill very difficult to master, and I'm sure I could have never rested in this position.
