I use the Race LE paddle and I cut it so when handle is in my palm my arm is fully extended. Some of the top guys cut them shorter but I find I have to crouch and bend back too much if I run it shorter...getting old...
I also use the Race LE as my wave paddle and there I just go 15cm over my head - insane having such a light paddle with so much grip when you want to catch a wave. Again, the younger guys go much shorter so they can manouver paddle between turns, but I hate paddling with such a short paddle.
hey peter, last year I did the same for my paddle but now I have taken 5 cm shorter....and my wave paddle 10cm...."shaka-heigt" as they say....we will see if this was a good decision :)
