    I did 11 miles one way on the Buffalo National River. The water was high, and I thought it would be faster, but I had to paddle hard the last two hours to get out by a decent hour (in time to shuttle and get supper ready for the crowd).

    Your boat has pads? If they're not for the knees, what are they for?

    You put your knees under them to stabilize your body thereby enabling you to use more of your core for power instead of just arms.

    That's in theory, anyway.
