Re: [Paddlewise] greenland paddleing

I am currently paddling a Boreal Design Ellesmere.  The Ellesmere has 
a fairly high foredeck.  Especially in the keyhole version.  I've also 
paddled the Capella and don't think it's any higher.  I'm paddling 
greenland style and find the the foredeck to be no problem at all.  In 
fact, for me, it's hard to imagine going back to euro syle.   You are 
right it takes the stress off the writ, elbow, and shoulder joints.  
Rolls are easier, braces solid and the technique is fun.
