In Response To: Re: Paddle: curve on a spoon paddle (ancient kayaker)

: I use both a flat and a curved blade paddle, with a relaxed grip
: (necessary due to Arthritis) in both cases. I haven't noticed
: the self-orienting characteristic that you describe is any more
: pronounced than with the flat bladed paddle. The curved blade
: one is much nicer to use, but it is about 40% lighter - and was
: a lot more expensive . . .

With arthritis, which I share, you really should try a Greenland paddle, puts much less stress on the fragile joints.
