Test-Racing Greenland Paddle of 2010 Alberto Ruggieri




I recently had the opportunity to test the greenland paddle racing 2010, designed by George Perry and produced by PN kayak
E 'was just a pleasure to see how maintaining a low rate of paddling I could stand alongside and chatting with George, with my paddle, was forced to a much greater number of hits. Basically we went more business than I knew it without much effort.
The feeling that you have a paddle handle is quite short (the way he comes into water and the past give this impression), and it was a surprise to find that actually measure 2.52 meters well. Obviously, the particular design of the blade in its central part and towards the handle (oval in the opposite direction compared to a traditional Greenland paddle) make it very smooth transition in the water. In essence, the final water is softer and lighter than a paddle of equal length.
The initial feeling of a paddle fairly robust, and trained paddlers, dissolves quickly to make sure that you can not keep a good cruising speed without straining.
push harder - GPS in hand - you find that you can launch your boat at a faster rate of what we are used to. Sure it takes to sustain this pace workout. In short, if you have aspirations of racing, this paddle is probably a good compromise between the Greenland paddle and a paddle to modern competition.
With the stern the length of the paddle can be appreciated once again for the speed with which leads us to catch the wave to reach the speed of Serfati. In substance, even when the sea pushes us the paddle has enough leverage to find a solid boost in water and help us further accelerate. The same is true in the course corrections for the great efficiency of the paddle at the circular propulsion.
With regard to support the paddle gets along very well for all the maneuvers of rapid recovery of the (supports high and low). It suffers a bit ', however, rests in the treble and bass and the extreme support. In this case, the design of the handle and the central part of the blade does not help. The blade tends to dip more than a traditional Greenland. No problem for the Eskimo paddle long (very long!). More attention and precision are necessary for the short blade eskimo.
recommend this paddle to paddlers who prefer a robust training or paddling slow and powerful, amino sprint at speeds above the average at their usual.
