These look interesting. Look forward to your report when you have used one
for a while. I hope they throw in a complimentary Batman outfit.
A couple of thoughts; how do bent shaft paddles work in paddle float
outrigger rescues? Any problem there getting the paddle to sit securely in
the back deck bungies or straps? And, why is it that paddles come in a
standard 29mm diameter shaft size? Paddlers have different hand sizes, why
not a choice of paddle shaft diameters? Has anyone on the list customized
their paddle shaft to provide a larger diameter, or custom oval or other
shape at the place most gripped?
Regards, PT
