: Water doesn't pull the free end of your paddle back to the start position.
Granted, but is that germane to the purpose of the exercise? The primary exercise would seem to be in the push and rotation of the stroke, not in the return. In fact, the effort needed to control the pull of the weight would likely add some (non-paddling-specific) additional training effect. It doesn't sound like a perfect solution to winter training, but it does sound pretty good, and a lot cheaper than a dedicated machine.
Of course a better solution would be to just move here in California, where we can paddle year round.
