In Response To: Re: Paddle: Paddle length? (Bill Hamm)

I built a GP and it does fine. Not as much bite as i would like though
and the cadence is faster than i like. But those items are just a matter of aclimating to the paddle. I may need to go use it some more.

: And here I thought I had a lot of paddles, wrong again :)
: (this seems to happen alot with this group, some amazing paddlers here)

: I'd though recommend finding a dealer that has demo days and go and try a
: bunch of paddles before you make any decisions. These though will likely
: be euro paddles, finding a dealer with gp's isn't all that easy. Ask
: around and maybe one of the guys using a GP will let you borrow his, or
: just carve one yourself, not hard and it's fun too :)
