No need to have at you, Matt.  I just needed some clarification.  Bad net 
etiquitte on my part in that I totally missed your "wink" on the breaking 
comment.  It is interesting to know that the broken paddles you can remember 
have been non-feathered.  

My extended paddle roll and braces are getting pretty reliable but I have 
also been working quite hard on bracing and rolling without changing from my 
normal Greenland grip.  I am having pretty good sucess in flat water and in 
small waves, but have not tried much in surf.  The way I took your comments, 
I was kind of discouraged.  It was as if my work on keeping the normal grip 
for rolling and bracing was probably for no real purpose.  I'll just keep 
working on my technique and see how I fair as I get into bigger water.
