I am an experimental type and do not find it useful to speculate too much on the reasons, though that may be fun. I would rather just try the different paddles at hand and control the test conditions to those I typically paddle, and see which one makes me less tired. Note that this may not be the one that "feels" best or is most enjoyable to use. > Personal Qs re body type: hieght, weight, sleeve length, muscular vs. > endurance type physique? I am 5'11", 170 lbs, in good condition. Three hours at 4 kts is a very good pace for me but I need a nap afterwards. I have raced but always ended up in the middle of the pack, and don't race anymore.
