In Response To: Re: If Ive got this straight (Greg Stamer)

Greg,

This very long stroke with forward tilted greenland paddle, held with two fingers on blade, how much circular sweep does it have ? Or can it be executed parallel to the kayaks side?

Also, how low and close to the water do the hands go, ie. how much "dry" blade is there between the submerged blade and the hand?

Having thought it useful to minimize the turning momentum created with long euro paddles - something one can't seem to do unless the shaft is short - I now wonder if this problem is relevant with greenland technique.

risto

: My knuckles are not in line with the blades, they are set well back. Also
: Maligiaq and Kalerarq Bech both teach a very long stroke -- the paddle
: exists past the hip. This is consistant with what I observed during the
: championship. I don't recommend holding the elbows against the side. This
: will kill the push-pull component to the stroke. I keep my arms fairly
: close to my side but they are free to move.
