the quickblade peahi paddle would be worth a look. Towball & I both in love with the Jimmy Lewis peahi paddle which is modelled on the quickblade profile. Is a longer blade with lots of volume. I've given up on using the JL peahi version in the surf coz I keep snapping the blade at the narrowest point. Towball must be gentler coz he's had no casualties. The original quickblade carbon peahi paddle could be a winner if you wanting to engineer powerful strokes
