Boat Bouyancy 18 years 3 months ago #12288

I have a dagger g force 6.1, and I weigh 55 kilos. I think that the boat is too bouyant for me, and because of this, I am incapable of doing a few tricks. Thing is, i have no idea how to put more weight in my boat without making it's balance weird. Any ideas how to get it to sit on its rocker line in the water? (ie have the right weight inside it)

Thanks

If you want to do some tricks on flat water then fill it with water which makes bow stalling much easier. If you want to do wave moves or hole moves then sell the boat and get a smaller one. Smaller boats can be much harder to paddle on white water however. You won't be able to do everything well with just the one boat (which is why so many people have lots).
