"I am certain a GP can produce lift. Is it the optimum shape to produce lift? Probably not. Would an asymmetrical shape potentially produce more lift? Probably yes. But there is already a very good paddle that does this, it is called a wing paddle. I am not sure what you are trying to get at. If you want a paddle that works like a wing, why aren't you talking about a wing paddle? They work very well." I'm trying to "get at" why a GP is said to generate lift. I'll go for a paddle rather than wasting any more keystrokes. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
