I had an opportunity this summer to take a Greenland paddling skills class taught by Alison Sigethy and that really was helpful. The 90 degree couldn't be less appropriate for sea kayaking. Who cares if it slices cleanly and efficiently through the air as the blade moves forward? That same blade is a sail when the wind is coming from Cogitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133874974238296960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338035162763763423.post-35783074500083079382013-09-06T08:28:15.018+10:002013-09-06T08:28:15.018+10:00for fear of flying with too much luggage I left th...for fear of flying with too much luggage I left the Greenland NLP at home and just took the Skinny on my recent trip to Scandinavia. Guess what? loaned it to my paddling partner and she would not give it back to me; and I ended up paddling 500Km with a wooden stick.

This spring I switched to a "stick" that I made from western red cedar and hung up my 90 degree feathered euro blade. That's the feather angle I learned on back in the day and I figured it was going to be a major transition, but it was really very smooth.
