[Paddlewise] Slowing Down

After a too short presentation the forward stroke by Brent Reitz at
Canoecopia I saw the light on body rotation.  It has made quite a difference
in the power of the stroke, and the chicken wing has certainly eased strain
on the wrist.    The DVD is on my father's day list.

Question: When paddling at a more leisurely pace, is it more better to lower
the cadence (pull slower) or reduce the stroke length (less body rotation?)?
