I switch to feathered for surfing or whitewater, and (twice in seven years) 
for wind conditions while touring.  To quickly acclimate to the feathered 
paddle, I do 360-degree pivot turns using combined forward and reverse sweep 
strokes.  By the time I get dizzy, I'm warmed up and my hands pretty much 
have the idea. :^)
