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. :^) Harold *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
Oh no! Treading dangerous waters with these postings involving switch hitting, gay blades and decorating bottoms. I think there is a somewhat obvious albeit overlooked solution to the changeover thread, which is teetering on the edge of feathered/unfeathered. Do what I do. Compromise. Only feather one side of your paddle. Oh, well, never mind.

The ultimate, I guess, would be if you were either Gay or NOT homophobic, had a YELLOW kayak with black and white stripes, with feathers painted on the bottom, scotch lite on one side of your paddle blades with some sort of tropical design on the other side. You would then be able to attract all sorts of interesting people and creatures. -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net]On Behalf Of Outfit3029_at_aol.com Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 1999 8:17 AM To: HTERVORT_at_aol.com; WILAX_at_aol.com; nickjean_at_speakeasy.org; paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] The lighter the paddle (changeover) Oh no!
