results of a little experment I did this morning: I paddled 1 mile course using two different paddles, a Lindyl (sp?) that is 218cm. long with a 44cm x 20.5cm blade and a Whetstone that is 220 cm with a 44x17 blade. Lindyl Whetstone cadence 70 spm 80 spm avg sp 4.6 mph 5.3 mph max sp 5.9 6.1 I used a GPS for measurements. Til now I've always thought I was going faster with the the bigger bladeand use it 99% of the time. I guess I'll change. Has anyone else experienced this? And, what kind of cadence do any of you racers achieve and maintain during a race?
