Sorry it did not help - it was published to assist the youngsters who
attended a coaching day at a regatta last year. One of the GB coaches
gave a talk to parents and when the website was set up earlier this
year the information was published for their benefit. All the kids
who have access to email subscribe and get a regular newsletter.
May get some results if you put the same query on UK rec boats site.
I suspect that one problem is that you have gone straight in with them.
I have tonight purchased a new set of paddles for my grandaughter and
she will spend several sessions getting used to them before she races.
This will entail sessions with one of our coaching team working with her
and the others who have purchased them. One point that was made at the
coaching day was that many people paddle with what they are given and
that is why so many have difficulties. There is a science to picking
the correct paddle. Will do some research and post a link if I find
anything that may be of help. Meantime I would suggest you revert back
to your old ones for now and enjoy your paddling.
