Hey all.
Have had a QB Kanaha paddle for a while now, cut fairly long 6" over head height. Love the paddle but starting to find the 110 blade a bit much, and striking the nose of the board a fair bit as I change sides. Will definitely keep for flat water or long hauls to a break.
Had a Naish Wave LE sitting around doing nothing, so cut it down to just over head height to try it out in the surf. Really like the blade size reduction to a 95" and the length is so much more manoeuvrable in the waves, but not liking the shaft flex at all.
Looking at another QB specifically for the surf.
Has anyone tried or owned the V Drive or Trifecta?
Feedback would be appreciated...........

Are you gonna use that Bolt today?

I may as well have not paddled tonight. Flatter than a mashed cat.

Nothing wrong with the paddle just the motor.

Trifecta and V Drive are flat water/downwind paddles.

Hey Brenno,

I bit the bullet late last year took out another mortgage and bought a QB V-drive (tapered oval shaft) specifically for surfing. Its a great paddle and I love it. I am 100kgs and riding a SB widepoint. It has great flex/ reflex through your power stroke for wave catching in my opinion and they are super lite n strong. Hope this helps,

How long (or short) have you gone for with your V Drive?

Mate, its a 91 blade size and I got it cut to 1820mm which is just right for my height (1760mm)
