Actually, from all I've read on Paddlewise and Wavelength and all I've experienced personally, any health benefits derived seem to be about evenly balanced with the health problems one can create from lifting heavy boats, loading boats up onto racks, paddling too much, using the wrong paddle, using a feathered paddle... and the list goes on. I'd consider it about equal to running: Nice aerobic benefits but costly on the joints.
