In Response To: Paddle: GP length (Kudzu)

I find that the loom length plays a big part in how my shoulders feel. A wide loom allows me to use a more aggressive stroke but bothers my bad shoulder. A narrower loom gives me a more relaxed stroke with less shoulder movement and i can paddle with less problems on my shoulder. Keep trying different dimensions.
