Try tilting the top edge of the paddle forward just a hair off vertical. This will put a bit of a load tension on the blade and may stop it from cavitating. You can actually tilt it forward a bunch, a trick I learned with a Greenland paddle, for a whole different, and IMHO, effecient stroke. Light paddles are quite noticable when they flutter, especially with a death grip. Lightnings can flutter as well. steve aldercreek.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
