Hurricane Setting

Wednesday, July 04, 2007 / Posted by Rambo /

Here are the recommended settings for the Hurricane.

Remembering the Hurricane is a stable Canoe anyway, everyone does have their own theories but basically here's how the Canoe is rigged for different conditions :

1. Tippy Conditions: Ama side

When conditions are rough or very windy, you usually have the front Iako into the Ama on the high numbers 5 or 6 and the back at 3 or 4 that is really stable chasing big runners and heading into cross chop. Iako into Canoe, the plastic sleeve on 4th or last groove from the right.

2. Smooth Downhill Runs

Ocean conditions with following seas but not really rough conditions. Again you can experiment but try 4 , 5. or 6 at front again and at the back try 2 or 3 Iako into Canoe try 3rd or middle groove.

3. Sprint

To level the Canoe out Opposite to Tippy Conditions. Low numbers at the front Iako into the Ama eg 1 or 2. Back 1 or 2 as well. Iako into the Canoe 1st or 2nd Groove closest to the Ama.

Hey, Rambo, lots of people pointing at this "classic" post, but a little confused:

Isn't
"1st or 2nd groove closest to the ama"
the same thing as
"4th or last groove from the right"?
