Hi all (again again)

I like the animation but I am sad that the paddler is in black because it is
easy to miss two extremely important things;

1) he is ALL torso rotation - the top and bottom arms are relatively fixed
during the actual in water (power) phase there is little or no extension of
the top arm

2) the top hand is fixed in height during the power phase and is fixed
relative to the shoulders (ie it rotates with the shoulders)

By again
Ian
