A few points: - Your arm is ALREADY supported at the shoulder - by the shoulder. There's no need to further support it. - Unless there's a big difference between your arms, there's little reason to weigh them seperately. - There's little reason to weigh your paddle seperately, if you going to add up the weights of arms and paddle anyway. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
