Hi all... The Australian Canoeing Award Scheme is agnostic as far as paddle feathering is concerned: assessors must satisfy themselves that candidates can perform the necessary skills whatever the style of paddle. Most serious Aus paddlers use feathered paddles, but there are a few who paddle unfeathered, and all the Instructors I know would suggest that spare paddles that can be set up unfeathered can be useful for people with wrist problems. Anyone interested in Aus Canoeing Award Scheme requirements will find the Handbook online (as PDF) linked from <www.canoesa.asn.au/ed.html>. You might also find <www.canoesa.asn.au/ed/seakayak.html>, on equipping sea boats, interesting.
