hi guys looking at getting a new ke nalu konhi and was wondering what flex shaft everyone was using . i have a ke nalu now with a flex 90 shaft which i was getting some shoulder soreness but with more summer paddling it has cleared up , so i was just interested in which shaft people had there paddle matched up to.

i will be using for flat water and maybe some racing , so does going to a soft shaft say the flex 70 have a adverse effect on speed or is it just in the feeling of the stroke?

thanks

looking at getting the 95 at this stage

Haven't raced but have done a lot of 5km or so time runs to and try to beat it always once a week , so probably simulated as close as I could with out racing , the pain I was getting was only for the first 1 or 2 strokes when change sides after doing 10-12 strokes on the other

I reckon you should stick with the 90 flex shaft with the Konihi 95 blade. If you were going for the Konihi 84, the XTuf(S) 70 flex would be the go unless you prefer a stiff shaft.
You could always stick a Konihi blade in your current shaft and see how it feels.....then if you need another full paddle, you'll know if you should go with the same shaft as you already have or go for a flexier one
