Used Kayaks
"Wash riding/ wash hanging ", this refers to using someone's back wash
(from the back or either diagonal sides of the kayak) to reduce the
required effort to maintain the same speed. It is similar in theory to
that of drafting on a bike. The positioning is important and you need
to be slightly behind and to the side as shown above, the guy at the
front is doing a lot of the work and the two guys to either side are
using his wake to make life easier and the guy behind is getting the
best tow of all. In this situation, the front paddler will break 'Still'
water formation as he paddle forth and converts the water catch into an
incoming current that will benefit the paddler behind as opposing
current will give slight lift & ease for the kayak to surge forward.
Of course, this has to depend on the weight ratio of the back paddler
and the ratio of strength output of the front paddler to create such
motion
