Think Powerwing

Anyone bought a Think Powerwing paddle ??

I would be interested in any feedback as I am in the market for a new paddle, currently using an Epic Signature Series
mid wing.

Hey Bob,


Guy Power has one in your neck of the woods, drop him a line and try it out.


Cheers,



Stew.

Hi Stew,

thanks

Bob

Sounds good. I've still got an e-mail to get back to you on, I'll chat to you during the week.



Cheers.

Does anybody have any feedback on the Think Power Wing paddles? Also, does anybody know the blade dimensions (length, width, or sq cms/in.)?
Thanks,
Jodi

I'm a beginner and comments need to be taken in this context. My Power Wing blade is 15cm x 45 cm. I don't know the area.Smallish. Good for high cadence though no shortage of power except when paddling downwind on waves, when I wish I had something bigger! It is a 2 piece shaft. The central fixateur is a "hose clamp" design which requires a small spanner. It is very secure but can't be adjusted on the fly. Think provides a little wetsuit sleeve to cover it. The shaft is 26mm diameter, which I like a lot. I'm getting less pain in my wrists and elbows. Think has prewrapped bicycle handlebar tape over the grip area, which I find very secure and comfortable.I'm having a little more trouble with correct placement of the paddle in the water than with my 15yr old Hammer (whatever happened to them?) but the Power Wing has probably another 7-10 degrees of twist on it. It feels slightly less forgiving than the Epic MidWing, but when I get it right,which is most of the time, feels secure and powerful through the stroke. A more experienced paddler would probably have no problem with it.
