I think that to those who are not using traditional Greenland paddles a sudden gust of wind at sea would be a real problem. [Thanks to Joq I am designing a Greenland paddle - a full rapport follows, sooner or later...] I have seen some people having only a feet long string, which is tied loosely to their wrists. Didnīt convince me very much. Has anyone considered the danger of hitting [when collapsing] oneself accidentally with a paddle if the tether or string is too short? - NO, NOT with a bungie :-) [Besides legendary Dr. Inverbon, who surely could comment on that matter;-)] Cheers, Ari Saarto "the horizon is not a limit..."
