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. --Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: David.Miner_at_gsbsc.gensig.com [SMTP:David.Miner_at_gsbsc.gensig.com] > Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 1998 12:03 PM > To: PaddleWise_at_lists.intelenet.net > Subject: [Paddlewise] Paddles > > Currently, I paddle a Werner Camano fiberglass, 220cm 60 degree > feather paddle straight shaft. > > I'm looking to buy another paddle which breaks down.
