What delicious irony that is. Nice to impress people with skill and stamina
instead of annoying them by just being in their way. Boxers use the speed
bag to build the stamina to keep their hands high and I've often wondered if
they might be smart doing some high-angle paddling too. Just imagine getting
into a fight with someone who can keep their hands chin-high for 2 or 3
hours while holding a 1 or 2 pound paddle and doing alternating jabs.
