>Why do you lose efficiency if your stroke extends past your hip? >It was something about water compression versus lift????? I don't know about water compression and lift but when making a forward stroke you are pulling yourself forward _and_ downward. When your blade comes past your hip you start to pull yourself downward _only_. Since that is not what you want when your intention is to go forward, you could describe this as losing efficiency Dirk Barends *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
