In Response To: Re: paddle length- changing "gears" (Brad Farr)

: Now if somebody can just come up with a telescoping, variable length paddle
: so that we can "change gears" while paddleing.

A simpler approach is to slide your hands on the paddle. That's one of the reasons that a Greenland paddle is made to be gripped at any point along the shaft or blade. You can extend the paddle to any degree necessary to "find the proper gear" by using a full or partial sliding stroke.
