I have used them with varying success, I think I'm still trying to find one of the correct size. So far, I have only used a Euro (wide blade) paddle for Watertribe events. However, GPs have a very well proven track record in Watertribe and other events.<br />Even outside of kayaks, canoe paddles for example, smaller paddle blades are preferred for marathon type events. I think the theory is that the smaller blades put less stress on your body during the stroke, therefore reducing likelihood of injury. In pretty much all of paddlesports, you will see marathon events using smaller paddles than sprint events.bjalgerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495702275327750514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341078999864059964.post-73317134894980083632012-04-25T15:07:29.592-04:002012-04-25T15:07:29.592-04:00A nice project.

I am still trying to wrap my mind around comparison: a narrow paddle that gets little done with each stroke but you can stroke faster to a wider paddle that gets more done with each stroke though at a slower rate. The "many light strokes" of a Greenland paddle would seem to create more chance for repetitive motion injury. But I know I am missing something -- what? What's the science?Wade Tarziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876387351164907807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341078999864059964.post-69955917215468604902012-04-21T20:32:39.806-04:002012-04-21T20:32:39.806-04:00Can't wait to go paddling with you Sara.Can't wait to go paddling with you Sara.John A.

This plate would be attached to the plate under the deck skin, through the skin. <br />While the plywood plate will be permanently there, by assembling the kayak I will need each time to seal the holes punched into the skin. This will happen by using some screws that at the upper part ends with a nut in order to receive the mast base made as described above. <br />Well this is actually a thought that came into my mind while studying your sistem.<br />I know I will need some lashing points in order to get the mast upright, and lowe it. This will not be a problem using PVC truck tarp.<br />I use since "86 a Pouch RZ 85 (it is a double)and in the last time, think of making a foldable single ( an macmilan or another greenlander)<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />GeluGelu Botezanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342935988489319910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341078999864059964.post-18256708741765656622012-04-20T20:30:53.955-04:002012-04-20T20:30:53.955-04:00Gelu,

Actually, when I brought my folding kayak to North Carolina, I forgot to bring the carbon baseplate. I instead set the mast on top of the second frame (rigid point) and lashed it into place using the four corner points. It couldn't move forward, back, or side to side. It was functional, but raising and lowering the mast was more difficult and not a secure as with the external plate system.<br />How would you plan to attach the flexible mast base to your plywood plate?bjalgerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495702275327750514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341078999864059964.post-44980332754377203292012-04-20T15:24:34.929-04:002012-04-20T15:24:34.929-04:00Great work!
