Ok, I have had about a 50-50 split on instructors telling me how to do a penetration approach. So, just for shit n' giggles:
Dive to platform and then drive in to the next point? Or suck the boards in prior to platform to arrive at the next point on the approach at altitude?
I have been told the reasoning to the Dive and Drive is 'that's how it's done at the boat'. And the reasoning for arriving at the altitude and point at the same time is for fuel efficiency. So which do you do and why?
