Hi all,

I recently had the opportunity to by another Lendal paddle and I'm 
thinking of getting the blades set at 45 degree rather then 60 that 
mine is currently at. I was wondering if anyone has had any 
experience with a 45 and what they thought. I'm figuring the lesser 
angle will make bracing a little easier and may cut down on some 
wrist rotation. My white water Werner paddle is a 45 but I don't 
really do much forward paddling with it. Would the lesser 45 make 
much difference in wind? I realize I could get a variable pitch 
center joint but I prefer a one piece

Thanks

JFF
