In Response To: Re: This is how a cutaway helps OT (Kocho)

It is my understanding that catch cutaways and narrow catches are really only useful for use with a wing paddle.
The blade of a wing is placed as close as possible to the feet and moves away from the boat as it passes through the water. This can be seen in Kocho's clip. Euro paddles behave differently and do not neccessarily need the narrow catch placement as the blade moves more or less parallel to the side of the boat. Chalupsky And Barton's video, " the forward stroke" explains this well if I remember correctly.

Cutaways look cool but their functionality is limited with a euro paddle.
