Is there anyone who can recommend this "style" or not recommend > it? Like Kees, I also use this when the paddle pressure on my middle thumb joint starts to irritate. And like Kees, I do it for variation and it is not advisable for high wind conditions unless you've got big hands and can get a solid grip with just your fingers. If it makes paddling easier and it doesn't compromise safety, I see no reason not to use it myself or not to recommend it to others.
