19 de dic. de 2022 · The eddy lines are lines of rough water that generally begin at the edge of the obstacle that created the eddy. The lines get wider downstream as the water pressure weakens. Whirlpools are what sometimes happen when water flowing in one direction meets water flowing in the opposite direction.
The dividing line between the main current and the eddy's more subtle upstream flow is an area of turbulence called an eddy line. To paddle safely and smoothly into the main current from the shelter of an eddy, or leave the main current and enter an eddy, we must cross the eddy line using an eddy turn.
Eddy Lines. An eddy line is a swirly line at the edge of eddies where the current flowing downstream meets the current flowing upstream. Eddy lines are some of the most unstable currents in the river for kayaks. Some eddy lines are well defined and easy to recognize while others are more ambiguous.

Getting Ready. The eddy turn is basically a low-brace lean turn performed as you cross the eddy line. Begin by learning and practising the low-brace turn in flatwater until you get the timing and feel comfortable tilting the kayak. (See Adventure Kayak V3 I2 online for a description of this technique.)
