That is, I think of muscling your way through the water rather than properly paddling your way through the water. So, while it's true that form and technique require a degree of strength, in the context of this thread, I was of the mindset that the original poster was using the term to mean something other than what I now think they were saying. I've been away from the net for several days. Looks like about 50 titles referring to Greenland vs. Euro..... should be interesting reading during my lunch break today... if I manage to get one. :-) Rick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
