: Majhor problem solved I think! MANY THANKS!!! as I posted just
: above I was under the impression that "LOW STROKE"
: meant very horizontal and quick but shallow reps in water (again
: No wonder I was slow! I wasnt moving any water.

: the artical in QAJAQ that I just posted a Blurb from realy helped
: and the help from this board was super!!!

: many thanks Ill give a report after my next paddle session ill bet
: ill move a bit better!

: thanks agian

: "John"

With my relatively short paddle length a low angle stroke isn't in the cards. My stroke is usually a very high angle stroke, but I tend to be a fairly agressive paddler too. The GP works fine either way, actually works very well with the very vertical wing paddle stroke too for that matter.
