RE: [Paddlewise] Paddles

I use a number of paddles, but my favorite are from  Epic.  The Epic touring
paddle is wonderful both in graphite and in fiberglass.  The paddle really
grabs the water and lets you crank hard to accelerate quickly.  If you like
to race,  I also highly recommend the Epic wing paddle.  I bought this
paddle for racing, but more and more I'm using it as my general purpose
paddle. 

As for angle and length, take a look at Epic's new two piece shaft that lets
you vary both the feather angle and length.   It would be great to have such
a paddle so you could experiment and find the idle feater angle and length
for a given situation.
