Haven't paddled a bent shaft, so can't speak to it, but I do paddle a Greenland paddle, and it is WAY easier on the wrists, no issues with feathered/unfeathered, and I find it quieter to paddle as well. Lest I be branded a zealot or anything, I also paddle spoon paddles on a regular basis. When I find my wrists getting sore I do concentrate more on technique, but just switching to the Greenland paddle seems to be the best answer for me personally. My two cents worth- Regards, Kevin *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
