So just as an eddie turn with a peel out the first two elements there's speed and angle. Again as an eddie turn your entering from one current into another and having good amount of speed to get across that current deferential which is the eddie line is important to make sure you don't get stuck in that turbulence spot and get into trouble. The other thing you want to think about on the peel out is the angle again if we think about the clock facing 12 o'clock up stream and 3 o'clock straight across the river I usually want to enter from a peel out on the river right side about 1 or 1:30. So with the 1 or 1:30 angle I have the choice of peeling out or feering depending on what I want to do. And if I see something that makes me decide differently at the last minute I could usually change my decisions and do one or the other. The other advantage to a 1 or 1:30 angle is makes the lean less critical, means that I can lean down stream but I don't have to lean down stream place is so strong but if I entered the current at a more extreme angle. So speed and angle I'm going to enter the current and I'm going to do a peel out.
