Which Blade size? was created by kuntz
Hi,
I am a rookie in the world of surfski and I am looking for a paddle that really suits me. I have paddled for 20 years in flatwater and the first thing i noticed approaching surfski was the different requirement for the blade. I used to paddle with a Bracsa IV max, which i rellay liked in flatwater but for ths Ski I find it too heavy
Could you help me chosing the right size, surface and typology.
thanks
Bye

Have a look at the Epic Kayaks site - they've got a utility that helps you decide blade and shaft length...

If you've paddled for 20yrs no online guide or reading will lead you to the exact paddle that suits you. You will already have an ingrained 'feel' you like and habits, good or bad. Only way is to demo some paddles.
