This time I'll go for a fiberglass. 4-piece > Aquabound Expedition for $130 (37 oz 230 cm) is my choice so far (4-piece > because of folder). I'm 10 cm taller and paddle a 24" wide Solstice GTHV. My Euro paddle is 220-226 cm variable length and I wish I had got a 215-221 cm. It seems to me that 230 is long for you and 240 would be definitely too long. I'd suggest trying shorter paddles for a while before spending the money on a new one. See if you can borrow or rent.
