: There is no reason not to use the wing stroke, as shown in the diagram, with
: any type of paddle. Any paddle will give "lift" when used this
: way. Also there is no tendency to flutter.

: Interesting that the stroke is shown from above, the best way to properly
: show what is happening. The alternative is to show it from the front (not
: as good) but never show it from the side as so many do.

: The GP is just a wing without the disadvantages.

The wing paddle stroke works for me with the GP, but if I'm gonna do that stroke it's a good excuse to get the wing out of it's bag :)
