Up till now I've been using two main paddles.. A Kialoa Shaka Pu'u cut at 12" overhead for flat water and down-winders.. and a Methane cut at 8" over for the surf.
My Poo is my most used paddle but there's been many times during down-winders that I've almost fallen and pulled myself off balance because the blade sometimes feels a bit too big.
My Methane is too short paddling my 17 on down-winders so I decided to buy another Methane and have it the same length as my Poo.
Here's some pics of my new Methane.. Check out the new graphics and it's not just a sticker.. I think it looks pretty cool.
Also I've been thinking about how hot they get in the sun on a hot day and how much cooler a lighter colour is.. so I sprayed the face in a flat white.
I'm also thinking about spraying half the shaft so when I put my paddle down on my board on a hot sunny day it will blend in with my white Naish deck grip and hopefully stay cool.
