[Paddlewise] Maligiaq's angle?

    I was taught that a diving angle is required to counteract the buoyancy 
of the blade.  The angle canceled the buoyancy very well, it's just enough to 
ease the strain on the arms to push down. You also tend to lift slightly at 
the end of the stroke as if pushing off a reverse incline.  Lot's of fun

paddle as it entered the water, yet I am sure Maligiaq says on the video

that the paddle should enter vertically, though it seems to me that it does

indeed have a slight forward tilt.


Comment, Greg?
