Are there any tricks to good paddling form while wearing a PFD. I find that with a Farmer John, longsleeve fleece, paddling shirt, spray skirt, and PFD on, there is quite a consierable amount of resistanct to a good torso rotation. The noise of all that rubbing nylon sure kills the serene picture of a wooden kayak quitely gliding through the river alone. SWISH....SWISH.....SWISH..... I am new to the sport and still learning and being very cautious about what situations I put myself into. But I wonder if I have to put as much energy into rotating all this gear as I do in trying to move the boat forward.
