Matt,

Good to see you're willing to try just about anything for the sake of
learning. :)  Did you find you had to grip the paddle shaft more
tightly to keep the top edge of the blade canted forward, or was it not
enough to worry about?

Would holding the paddle in this position cause a little bit of
unreliability in a reflexive brace (especially with a feathered
paddle).

Best regards,
Shawn
