My 1st run of 2007 and I did a personal best of 1800. Now if only I could emulate that on the water.

I know I am late to the game, but after playing a few hours and finally breaking the 2000 mark, I thought I would pass on what little info I gleemed.
Each reset causes a new set of random waves, but that initial random set seems to be used for all sections once the game starts. So, if you don't like how the set is structured, especially between sections where the phase doesn't line up, you are better just resetting and hoping for a better grouping.
That said: Once you find a set you like and find that sweet spot that continually pushes you onto the next section without having to take a stroke, you can easilly get 1500 each game.
I have found that you want to be right on the hair's edge of missing the bump before hitting the stroke. Too early, and you run down the face only to start gliding up the back of the wave in front of you. This, right when you need max speed to catch the next section. You end up nose high, decelerating at the bottom of the trough which gets you stuck right between two sets.
If the stroke is hit just at the last second, you will linger momentarily at the top of the bump and then start accelerating down the face just as the next section approaches. Done right and you will hit the next section at high speed, ass high.
Not sure anyone is still playing, but it's new to me. So, whatever.
Later,
Koors

If you really want to have fun and get a real paddling workout where you can measure actual stroke power, force right and left, time distance, then check out the paddling Erg from Vasa. I love mine. It feels like the real deal and I am saving so much time and have reduced my stress trying to get to the water during the busy weeks by training at home with it. It works well for swimming and for XC skipoling, bothof which I do in seasons.
I wonder if they would create a video game like yours that hooks up to the paddling machine? Could be more fun.

Wow, I've only been a member for a few weeks now and I am already a better paddler....just cleared 700 ft \ m \ mi \ km \ cm \ in \ yrds....maybe if I posted 2x as often I could make it to 1400 in 40 strokes by the end of the month! If I get canned at work because I am paddling too much, I hold Keizo responsible.

if you let your canoe sit for more than like 2 or 3 minutes it drifts to the back of the screen and then falls off the face of the earth. wow!

Since everyone is changing boats, when will the game get its new boat?

just out of curiosity I wanted to see the shortest distance I could achieve and the fastest speed......I was able to get a 9.75 distance and a 22+ speed

Fun Game
Zoom you screen to 200% to make the game large on your screen.

2009 hold down after u click reset so you dont waste a stroke, very good time killer game..

I think I'm doing this wrong...
I'm sitting in a chair in front of the computer with the mouse on the floor, left clicking with the tip of my paddle. I have my wife calling changes from the kitchen...is this correct?

I love this game.
We actually took the idea and used it in practice one day. Slight bumbs and wind, nothing much and each tried 40 strokes to get as far as we could. It was a ton of fun, and am sure we were all cheating.

1068 on my first time out in more than a decade. I had a few epic screamers that made it all worthwhile.

Okay, this is not quite 'Karel Jr Pro Paddler' by EA Games, but it's a fun little thing I did this summer. This is some what of a pre-release. Have fun wasting time with it, and post your highest scores! Oh and if it runs slow, well then I guess your computer is a bit slow...
