A friend just finished the Everglades Challenge with a buddy in a Pygmy triple kayak. http://www.WaterTribe.com/Default.aspx? ucPtr=WaterTribeHome.ascx A key strategy to their success was switching between a Euro paddle, GP and a canoe style paddle during the race to allow their bodies a bit of a shift. During the race they would sit on the deck right behind the cockpit to use the canoe paddle. I would like to experiment with a single blade in my single and double baidarka. Anyone do much paddle touring with a canoe style paddle while in a kayak? Getting the paddle length correct is a big question to me.
