ralph diaz: ... The tendency is definitely toward shorter paddles. I once advised use of inordinate length paddles for folding singles and doubles. But I have come down probably around 40 cm from the 240 and 250-60 respectively. ... Ralph Hoehn: You're using 200s for singles and 210s-220s for doubles? I'd be very interested in more details on the technique you use with what paddle length for what beam! I coming down to 220s and am wondering whether I might go even shorter and introduce a bit of a slide to the stroke in some of the beamier boats I paddle. What do you think, tocayo?
