I hope so, since I just ordered my first wing paddle (ONNO) and do not ever intend to go at max speed. I have also committed myself to a few months of learning the stroke. Freya said in her San Diego presentation that the wing was efficient and that the wing stroke and paddle are what allowed her to do such long days with no injury. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
