Christmas morning I recieved from my family:
"Carbon fiber, bent shaft, adjustable offset, Werner Touring Paddle".
It was something that I was considering down the road in a couple of years. But way too expensive now - am kind of cheap. I am truely touched by this. Have I got a wonderful family or what.
I have a greenland paddle for touring, but I have been using a Werner Kauai, 220 cm, touring paddle for white water. It is a two piece paddle jammed, locked in the unfeathered position, can't break it loose. Way too long. Plus I have arthritis in my hands and wrist so can only use a unfeathered paddle. The bend shaft will help. I need a good unfeathered ww paddle.
Anyway the paddle was too small. Might fit someone in the lower five foot range but not a six foot person. So I took it back to Southwest Paddle Sports and traded it in (ordered) for a Waterstick Zen, unfeathered, bent shaft, carbon fiber white water paddle. Paddle should be in in a couple a weeks.
