paddles and sizes

Post by edg »

Col- How do you like the G-power, compared to Gala or Zastera? Gpower has a North American distributor, and I've been thinking about one, and about going shorter. I'm 172 cm, and use a 142cm for c-1 (Mezzana). Do you use 139 for both c-1 and c-2? Thanks for any info...edg

paddles are complete preference and style. different length paddles require a different style. it just depends on what you do, and what you want to do... I use a 60.5 in my race boats(C1/C2). I will likely move to something shorter when I get back into plastic... but that day is yet to come.
