thanks so far ....will measure my paddle, maybe it's within the range - it's just that I have no real feeling wether a paddles length is right. Paddles are way too expensive for buying them to try......so I tried some of my club, but the only short ones available to me have blades I don't like Tough...

just have a try!!!!! when I converted my actual whitewater canoe, everyone said it would be total nonsense to convert such a boat. For those who spoke like this, it might really be a bad boat But I tried it out and for me, it works perfectly, LOVE that boat now. So have a try and see how you feel in...

so do I - replace it when it's worn out. Unfortunately, it wears out way to fast :(

unless Slalom canoes, there I get the latest gear as soon as I can afford - makes a few seconds less on the course :wink:
