Could you post paddle reviews? For example hippo stick vs kialoa, etc for different craft. Thanks! Love the channel!

Thank you for the presentation. That was excellent. I’m taller and longer arms than most in our 6 man. Sometimes in a race we stroke at such a fast pace that I feel like I am at times shortening my stroke or arm paddling to keep in synch. Does it make sense to use a shorter paddle to offset this issue? Thank you!

[@K2NOPS]

@brettfaryniarz581 yes that can help. Reducing the distance from pinky to blade top. Adjusting the stroke to reach less and or exit sooner other variables to throw in for sync.

Hi, thank you for your video. Can you please tell me what is the size of your paddle please ? We have the same body size, that s why I'm asking.

[@K2NOPS]

I use a 48 in my Gemini Oc2 49 in my Draco oc1 50-51 in oc6 depending on unlimited or spec Steer with a 50 I keep my proportions all the same and the extra length matches if the boat sits higher from the water
