Just wondering what paddles the storm and surf PWers prefer - and why.
Make:
Model:
Straight Shaft or Bent:
Length:
+ relevant info. to length such as paddler height / reach, boat beam, deck height at
gunwale, vertical-ness of stroke, etc:

I'm trying to augment my beat up Lightning (Std. Tour) with a "bomber" stick for
conditions play and would greatly appreciate the input before finalizing an(other)
order decision.

Also, does anyone have any experience using Lendal's Mystic bladed paddle?
If so, what were your thoughts on its down wave performance (short wind chop
surfing)?
And what length is / was the stick?
Straight or Crank Shaft?

How about Lendal's Kinetic XTI (WW blade) or Kinetic Touring paddles, especially in
regards to conditions playing?

Thanks in advance,

Vince
