: question..I'm playing with one again. I've got a tendency to try and
: replicate my euro paddle technique. It'll take me awhile to relax
: unnecesary grip efforts but I'm kind of unclear on blade angle. My
: tendency is to have the outside edge lead but I've heard of a "canted
: blade"..or the inside edge leading,,which simply makes the blade dive
: under the kayak.
: It's diffrent. Up for suggestionsLee,
There's a (rather old) article about this topic on the QUSA website, "Greenland Paddling from the Source", at http://www.qajaqusa.org/Technique/Greenland_technique_from_the_source.html. It addresses many of your questions and might provide some suggestions.
There's some additional information on technique on the QUSA website, including video clips, that you might find helpful at http://www.qajaqusa.org/Technique/Technique.html .
