question Paddle feather offset opinions specifically for creeking? New

Forum: BoaterTalk

From: twabay


I currently have a 45 degree offset stick that is due to be replaced.  It seems as though many of the stores are now only stocking 30 degree offsets.  I have seen some discussion on this before, but I am curious what the latest thinking is on offsets, specifically for creeking and probably with a 197 or maybe even a 200.  Thanks!

note 45 is fine but 15 or less will completely open up other rolling options. shanebenedict New
