| **However, the best way to mitigate boat fatigue is to drop down to a more stable ski**. So for instance, if you typically paddle an advanced ski, you will be better off in an intermediate ski for races like the Blackburn, Ride the Bull, Double Beaver, etc. Not only will you minimize boat fatigue in a more stable ski, but you will also be more confident and be able to remount more efficiently if you do capsize. | **However, the best way to mitigate boat fatigue is to drop down to a more stable ski**.

| - | Most of my Blackburns have been in intermediate skis except when I was younger, trained in big New England ocean conditions, and was in the shape of my life. I am pretty sure I have paddled more different types of skis in the Blackburn than anyone for what that is worth. Now for 2023, I will drop down to one of the more stable intermediate skis since I getting older and my core strength is not what it once was. Boat Fatigue can still be a problem, but I know how to mitigate it and you can too! | + | Most of my Blackburns have been in intermediate skis except when I was younger, trained in big New England ocean conditions, and was in the shape of my life.
