A couple of weeks ago I asked for some help in choosing a paddle for IK'ing a boat similar to a Strike. I demo'd a few Werner touring paddles and the blades were just too damn small. Ended up going with a custom AquaBound Shred (220mm). All of the input was very much appreciated...as much as I wanted to get the Werner Powerhouse I couldn't justify the $250 especially since I just bought my third Aire inflatable. Now the wife has to come :)
