If your shoulders or biceps are stiff...
Posted by: FrankNC on Dec-17-12 9:43 AM (EST)

Use a paddle with more flex. I use a Lumpy that is really flexible compared to my other paddles, it gets the most miles per day. An Aquabound fiberglass paddle for rivers and surfing get the most waves per day for me. For a one day race I think the light stiff carbon shaft and blade paddle I have works best, but only for one day and then an off day after that.
