Hello All

I thought that the short film in the link would be of interest. The inventor Niels Blauw is a kayak instructor and very experienced paddles who was getting tired of the weight of his own arms and the paddle after paddling 30 kilometers. I do not like it but I don't get tired after 30 kilomters at an average speed of 6 to 7 km/h but I am only 64 years old. The link to the video is http://www.nibla.nl/peddeldrager/slagen.avi

Greetings from the Netherlands
