Another illustration of this is the type of roll you can do with a GP using an asymmetrical grip (like the sliding stroke mentioned below), driving the paddle face deeper into the water with a slight angle to the sweeping paddle face. (I think this is called a vertical storm roll.) These rolls are very powerful, just right for really bad conditions.

I find them, Greenland Paddles, to be as effective as other paddles in extreme conditions if one uses the appropriate technique for the condition. ------------------------------------------ The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged, confidential, and protected from disclosure.
