I don't know about the rest of the group but I just throw half of the paddle away and use a good C-1 paddle. Its a great relief to the arms after paddling 20+ miles to switch over. They are also good in high winds when the my wing gets caught and tries to twist me out of the boat. I come from a canoe (race) background and have no trouble using it. Will even have one as the spare on my surfski. After all they are only a spare. I use a Velcro attachment to hold on to my Kayak paddle when using the spare. rich *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
