[Paddlewise] Paddlewise] Keeping it going when ill/injured.

What then is the recommended paddle size and design, the best stroke, 
cadence, and style to move the kayak employing an absolute minimum of 
energy?


A canoe paddle!

You can lean on it and use weight instead of muscle.  Stroke angles are so 
different that injured wrists/elbows may not be impacted as much.

I carry one as a spare for my kayak and some take-aparts can be reconfigured 
as a C-blade.
