It looks interesting........I hope the price is reasonable.

Alloy shaft..Fiberglass blade..and a funny looking door knob shaped T grip..

Looks good DJ, if the price is resonable i would be interested not sure about the

knob style handle though doesn't seem to be enough to grip onto IMO.

adjustable is the way that i want to go with my next one.

Hi,

There is reason behind it, with a T Pce there will always be the " is it square 90 deg issue" with the round knob- there will never be a problem. This paddle is great for schools, and the customer that is not sure about paddle length. Take this paddle for a week and be sure about length, for the 100% carbon deal cut can be cut to the right size with no stress..

How much are these paddles and is the round grip good for a long cruise or downdwinders?

I just found out that the new C4 adjustable will be about $225..(I'm guessing/hoping that's Aussie dollars)...also max length is 83"...

I don't see how the handle shape could effect downwinders, upwinders, or even waveriding...It would be just a matter of getting used to it..I guess.

I'd like to try it...I've heard that your top hand should be relaxed and with almost open fingers..so you are almost 'palming it' as you push forward.

This new design might help with this technique.

It looks like shops that sell C4's will have this paddle available for those people buying a C4 paddle..so they can demo it and work out what length is best for them..so the shop can cut their new carbon paddle to the right length for them.

Sounds good.

btw..There's also a alloy/fiberglass C4 for about $200...Both available about mid March 08.
