: Yeah, talked to Bill about this tonight. The best option seems to
: be to make the paddle slightly shorter, around 82".

That's how the paddle I've got ended up at the length it is, was planning on making one about 3" longer but there was a loose knot so I just made it a little shorter and widened the blade a little. Now I love this thing :)
