=====================

i wonder if this position with legs rotated while pushing on footpegs can
contribute to hip problems... i don't normally walk or bike with my legs
rotated like that.  is it really ok to sit like that and be happy paddling
my kayak.... mile after mile. 2 paddlers in our group are getting new hips
joints.

any other kayakers out there got(or developing)  hip problems?

bye bye bliven
