Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] rolling Hi Tom, You said, " I'm tall, and I've always had a high angle stroke... and because my GP is long, I tended to have too much of it in the water." --------------- I use long paddles, which I have been told (for a couple of decades) is wrong, wrong, wrong. I am only able to sustain a shade under 5 mph with my old 9 ft euro. blade. I am 6ft 3in. That said, what do you mean by "Long" GP and how tall are you? Whhat means "too much" of the paddle in the water? What is your stroke rate for cruising and what is your cruising speed?
