Debra, Thanks for that info. Gosh, 5 degrees rotation in the lumbar spine isn't much. It seems that rotating it could be as injurous as cocking the wrists. Arm paddling may be my answer. Rotating the hips works for short distances, but after an hour the butt grinds uncomfortably in the seat. . By the way, I armed paddled those hundred miles.

I'm suffering from trying to apply power in rotation and not getting enough hip/pelvis rotation. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
