    A wing paddle user here trying to learn GP. Thanks a lot for the great demo from different angles. So GP at high angle can achieve respectable speed according to your number. Some questions: 1) Did you still feel the benefit of less strain to shoulder with GP using high angle? 2) It seems you can still use some leg drive with GP but the paddle has lots of negative paddle angle in the water before exit, correct? Thanks!

      Great to hear someone else mixing up the paddles! In answer to your Qs 1) not really. Though the GP has much less drag at the catch part of the stroke (which can be hardest on the shoulders) the overall strain on the body to me feels much the same. I think GP is maybe only easier on the body to paddle when you paddle the GP softly. 2) Yes, the GP has a lot of negative angle at the exit - this is continuation of the canted angle of the stroke (to get the lift) but also that the GP at the correct angle has almost zero drag as it exits the water (a significant benefit in the stroke I feel)
