Thanks Mat

I actually think I already do a "C" stroke without realizing that's what it is. . I sorta like my bent shaft but picked up a straight shaft as my spare paddle/fishing paddle. My bent shaft kept wanting to blow away in the wind so I picked up a bending branches wooden model. I will give it a go as an all day paddle a few times to see how I like it. If I have to grab the wooden paddle out of mid air after I set it down on the gunnels like I have had to do several times with my Zav, then it might be a bit to blustery to be out. ;).
