I have a friend, Doug, who came to kayaking from an outrigger racing background, who is perhaps one of the strongest paddlers I know. To watch his forward stroke is like reading poetry. He has never raced kayaks, but I remember one time he managed to keep along side Ed Gilliet during a very long sprint to the beach of a couple of miles, much to Ed's amazement. Doug has a tendency to wear holes through the hull of his boats with his heels. He is obviously doing something with his feet when he paddles.
