Don't you want both to determine the efficiency of the paddle and the strokes? I actually do think that a paddlewheel-type velocity sensor would give you the best instantaneous data (if sampled quickly enough) which can then be compared to the GPS data. I've heard that some rowing coaches who will not use a GPS for training purposes because they cannot get that granular a data from any other method for the price.
