New idea here from Quickblade. Any thoughts?....

An all encompassing solution for paddlers looking increase the efficiency of their stroke. The Smart Paddle sensor ships mounted into our adjustable shafts and pairs to your smart phone giving you an on board coach for your paddle workouts or races. Using technology from Motionize we are able to give you in real time your blade angle, distance per stroke, speed and GPS track. Now we are bringing the technology of the future into paddling to create a better paddler.

Plenty of comments by testers on the other forum:
www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php/topic,31123.0.html

In summary, seems to be a nice effort in the right direction but the Motionize itself looks like a product only part way through its development and very limited functionality compared to what is available in a multi-use unit. Also comments that the software interface and data provided is poor.
That is too bad as I was really looking forward to such a tool.

For now I think it's a good tool and until they or someone will make an almost 100% sup power meter oneday.
That's a decision of $172 AUD total for us to think about?
