While we are all talking about paddle grips let me chime in with a question or two of my own. In the limited paddling I have done I have found it comfortable to have my thumb on top of the paddle shaft with the rest of my fingers. I guess it leaves my fingers underneath the shaft to hold the paddle in place (and saves me from blisters). My questions; Is this an acceptable way to paddle? Would it put to much stress on ones hands on a long trip? Is there anyone who can recommend this "style" or not recommend it? --AJ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
