RE: [Paddlewise] Feathered v Unfeathered paddles

I get the impression that there is a revisionist point of view prevailing.
Five or six years ago many instructors seemed to advocate the feathered
technique. Because of wrist injuries and perhaps bracing advantages most
seem to have shifted their to the unfeathered method. I recently converted
and find that I like it better. I do still feather when headed into strong
winds.

Thank you, thank you for your words on unfeathered paddles.  Recently I've
been kayaking with an awful lot of people who hint that unfeathered paddles
are only for newcomers to the sport. Although I've  been seakayaking for
just
2 years, I know what works for me, and I can only wish that everyone had
your
'live and let live' attitude.
