You'll want to maintain the same, normal grip so you don't spend time changing back and forth. Imagine having to spin your paddle 180º everytime you wanna brace? learn to feather your blade angle and all is well. It only takes a slight change in wrist/elbow position to make the desired change in blade angle. Then to go from brace to forward or reverse paddling is a snap. Or get a (symetric) Greenland paddle! ;-) steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
