-	Another Tim Traynor Comment Specific to Lake Superior Conditions: "It's best to do a downwind in the building phase of a blow as once it has been going some hours the fast, long-fetch swells become too hard to catch…rounded swell being so frustrating and the remaining wind waves seem to even be blocked from the wind in the troughs, yuk." //Ed. Note:!// in many places the back-end of blows passing through is considered to generally be safer because the ultimate strength of a passing/building storm is not known or predicted with perfect accuracy on the front end. If you employ Tim's advice about front-end storm downwinding on Lake Superior, maybe you will want to be extra cautious? particularly when you do not have extensive local experience both paddling and watching local storm behavior under your belt yet? \\	+	Another Tim Traynor Comment Specific to Lake Superior Conditions: "It's best to do a downwind in the building phase of a blow as once it has been going some hours the fast, long-fetch swells become too hard to catch…rounded swell being so frustrating and the remaining wind waves seem to even be blocked from the wind in the troughs, yuk." //Ed.
