This manoeuvre will be achieved by resolving such factors as speed of current, size of eddy, tilt and the desired position in the river after the break in. Initial positioning in the eddy and the angle of exit. Initial positioning in the eddy and the angle of exit allied to the correct speed and degree of edging should be evident and appropriate for the particular eddy. Be aware of a charge out that ends with either a stall in mid-current or an inadvertent entry into an eddy on the opposite bank. The candidate should aim to cross a consistent and moderate grade 2 flow that is 10m wide without any loss of height, or a 20m wide flow with no more than a kayak length loss.
Allowance needs to be made for the specific water conditions.
It is important that the ferry angle is appropriate and maintained through the manoeuvre. Use of throwbag. Demonstrate throwing a throw bag to rescue a swimmer descending a grade 2 rapid, 10m from the bank. Surf small waves. Paddle into and out of small stoppers.
