Hey Rick, not Jonathan, but I’d say give it a go under guidance first. Most rental places offer a crash course. It’s pretty fun once you get the hang of it!

Actually, currents can greatly influence the maneuverability, especially for beginners. It’s not just about size but also the boat’s design and water conditions.

Great advice on this, Jonathan!

Is it something a novice needs to worry about a lot or is it more an advanced concern?

People don’t realize how crucial it is, especially on longer trips. Planning is key!
