Core activation with stern squirts.

I have realised from watching some technique videos and talking to people that Im not using my core enough when I do stern squirts.

I can happily get my boat vertical but have problems stalling it there or spinning when its up and I think this might partly be why.

Does anyone have any cues or tips they use for how best to get the core engaged?

Ive tried just being mindful to engage it, but thinking about that invariably distracts me and the rest of my technique suffers.

Eddyline cartwheels

I'm trying to get eddtline cartwheels dialled in my full slice. But I'm having trouble finding the perfect spot.

What characteristics do people look for in an eddyline that would make it good for eddyline cartwheels?

Are they normally best in an eddy made by a mid stream obstacle rather than one against the bank?

Sauna burnt down :(

The sauna at a kayaker's campsite in Norway burnt down this week.

It was built from an old judges hut for slalom kayaking and was always a little ghetto but got the job done and was the site of many good times.

It'll be sorely missed.
