I'm ordering a wing mail-order and won't have a chance to
try it out. Coupla questions to those with experience:

Same length as a standard Euro paddle? I use a 210 cm now
and like it. Same length for a wing?

Blade size... I currently use a big 'racing' blade and like
it. The wing blade comes in S, M, and L. I'm tending toward
large, which is advertised as for sprints. My theory about
blade size is to just slow the cadence if I'm not sprinting,
which works fine with my current blade. Anything about the
wing that would be different?

Thanks.

I'm finding that I like my wing 2-3 inches longer overall than I like my Werner
Camano.

I wouldn't even think of getting a non-adjustable paddle....maybe five years
from now, when I've really settled in...but adjustability just adds too much
function to not have it right now.
