Paddle vs paddle comparison video - which paddle is the best for you

It would be interesting to compare the Epic mid twist with the Braca VIII. I have not really found much info on the Braca VIII, just that it has quite a bit of twist.

Yeah the epic mid twist has a fixed size of 700 in combination with a stiffer paddle shaft, where as the braca 11 will come in a range of sizes. I’ve tried both, both work on Similar principles of big catch clean exit (twist) I feel the braca has a bit more flexibility in the stroke path than the epic.

Thanks for the compassion. Is the Epic midtwist their new model of paddle? Would you use this paddle in surf conditions?

[@oceanskicanterbury]

Yep it’s their latest paddle. Haven’t tried it in the surf would be interesting to see how it behaves through white water. Never had any issues with using a flat water blade in the surf however 👍 Fred and rooster like theirs also has an oval shaft for hand placement and is stiff.
