Once you learn to edge your sea kayak, you'll unlock the full turning potential of your boat. When you edge a sea kayak, you change the length of the boat. By releasing the bow and the stern out of the water, the boat essentially becomes shorter and much easier to turn.
Edging a sea kayak happens through little subtle weight shifts in the boat. By shifting your weight onto your hip trying to keep your head, and body over the centerline of the sea kayak, and balancing your boat using your knees.
