I would like to try a 52 inch before I cut down a Bailey stick. Anyone have one they want to sell? Vendors don't sell 52 inch except custom apparently

I have a 52 inch aqua bound edge that I cut down for playboating. It's the older one with the flexible white blade. I'd probably sell it if you came to The NOC and got it from me.

Thanks. My buddy Karl is going to cut down a Bailey stick for me.

I know you're all set on paddles, but for future ref just wanted to note that H2O does offer shorter paddles- 48/50/52/54/56/58 are available.

Thanks for info on H2O. I will paddle with this shorter one for a while then pick up a new paddle at 52 inches. I am going to follow some advise from Carol Westwood. If anyone gets to take a clinic with her jump at the chance.

How much shorter are you than Jon Lugbill and Davey Hearn, neither of them tall?

5 foot 3 1/2 inches

I have A 53" Mitchell wild water blade like new I want to sell.

Don't cut the Bailey!

I cut the Bailey Stick to 53 inches and this is an excellent length for me. Now, who has used an H2O team paddle with a straight shaft? Feedback? Reviews?
