[Paddlewise] The Last Glance

I was reading some catalogs and I noticed the paddles 
that were being shown up side down. In classes I teach 
students which side the top portion of the blade. Then I 
settled back in a chair and read through Sea Kayaker 
Magazine. The last glance picture shows a woman paddling 
along the coast of Puget Sound with a rather large dog 
on her stern deck. I noticed that she to was using the 
paddle in a feathered upside down position. Could this 
be a new paddling style sprouting up from Washington 
state?
Like the Aussies teaching us the spare paddles should be 
stored on the bow deck and not on the stern deck. Is 
there someone out there that can shed some light on this?
She may even be wearing a polyester top, not in the 
natural color.

Good Paddling,
Don Dimond
