High kneel vs. seated paddling

Kneeling affords better control, a lower centre of gravity and seems a
little faster. Not as comfortable though.
High kneeling is less stable due to a higher center of gravity, allows
longer, stronger strokes and is very difficult to master for
competition (mostly because the boats are so tender).
Seated paddling usually has a lower center of gravity (unless the seat
is set way high), In seated paddling, the ability to keep the feet
seperated allows for easier control of balance, everything else being
the same.
