OK, you're back. Sit in your chair and pretend to do a forward stroke on your right side. The paddle blade has two faces. The power face is facing to the rear (stern) of the boat. The back face is facing to the front (bow) of the boat. If you turn your knuckles down, the back face of the blade is facing the water. Your right hand is near waist level. This is the proper blade orientation for a low brace. Knuckles down, back face to water, low brace. Remember LOW DOWN. If you turn your knuckles up, the power face of the blade is facing the water. Your right hand is near shoulder level. This is proper blade orientation for high brace. Knuckles up, power face to water, high brace. Remember HIGH UP. Hope that helps, Bruce McC WEO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jul 19 2000 - 17:26:40 PDT
