Hey, I'm not a fast-cadence paddler by nature though I've been paddling pretty high-angle by necessity with the Prism. I'd get a 10 cm. extension but they don't make them that short. I thought the tracking on those boats was supposed to be pretty good, anyway (?) Could a K-light possibly do me even in rough seas? If so, the ideal boat, but I've been assuming not. > My only recommendtion is that you think about putting some reflector > tape on the non-power face side of the Werner blades.
