Last weekend I demoed a couple of Quickblades at Currimundi out of the Surftech trailer.
There was no Dogman to be seen, apparently he was chasing some pretty little poodles up around Mudjimba.
The guys at the shop there had no experience with the paddles so I thought I would ask you knowledgeable lot.
I tested a 110 square inch Kanaha Elite and also a 100 square inch Kanaha elite.
To my limited knowledge I couldn't see a lot of difference between either paddle. Sure the size is different, both were extremely light, had nice comfortable grips and they both entered the water beautifully.
I did get a really nice push from each paddle. So my query is which one do I buy?
I was going to go with the Kanaha with the 8.2 inch blade, but now I am thinking that I should go with the 8.7 inch. Do I go with the Elite or the basic Kanaha?
My paddling is generally a mix of ocean and semi flat water between 5 and 12 Kim's.
Any thoughts would be well appreciated.
Thanks heaps.
