Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: Matt HaverlySubject: William Nealy's book - "KAYAK"Posted: 21 Jan 2016 at 1:56pmBrian/Mauler, I think folks are saying that wider grip = more power/torque IF your blade is getting deep into the water. But narrower grip gets blade deeper into the water and extends farther to the front of the boat for power strokes. Narrower grip is generally less torque, but blade gets into water deeper ...

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: BrianPSubject: William Nealy's book - "KAYAK"Posted: 21 Jan 2016 at 12:19pmI'm not sure that saying you get more leverage and power from a narrow grip is exactly accurate.

It can seem like it's less power because if you're pulling fast/hard enough you're causing the blade to cavitate. W...
