Why don’t I like a boat with tumblehome? Am I paddling badly? I like to use to gunwale and when I’m in a boat with tumblehome it tends to bother my lower hand on the follow through.
 
There are a lot of hull shapes that use tumblehome. Shouldered tumblehome is actually a flared hull with an abrupt tuck for the last two inches just below the sheer ( the gunwales). These hulls have a lot of secondary stability
Then thee is tumblehome where the hull is flask shaped. The wide part is down low and there is less stability if the hull is heeled.

I don't understand what you mean by use to gunwale. Are you getting pinched? Or are you hitting your hand? What boat are you in?
