G'Day Kevin and Paddlewise,

I'm grateful to a woman called Linda Lehman who showed us that it was
unnecessary to use the 'wrist cocking' (paddle twist) even with a feathered
paddle. Its awkward to start learning but well worth it. It would be good to
see the idea of NOT rotating your wrist when paddling more widely
advertised.

All the best, PeterO
