In fact it is the only paddle I use on the sea, and guess what... I made it myself. It is a Greenland paddle. By far the best rough water, high or low bracing, sculling, and rolling paddle that exists. And, if you use a properly constructed Greenland paddle with modern wing paddle technique, you will be amazed at the speed and power available. Just my opinion... Kevin ps. I have yet to see a commercially produced Greenland paddle that is anything close to what a proper Greenland paddle should be. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 19 1999 - 12:45:40 PDT
