hi,

In the profiles on this site you have posted a photo of yourself in your wooden kayak, with what seems like one of your self-made paddles across the coaming.

It may be that the angle and the optics of the camera used are playing tricks with me, but that paddle seems kind of short.

how long is it? have you perhaps varied the length much between those six euro paddles, or do you have a definite favorite length (for them all)?

Having myself drifted towards shorter and shorter paddles with "euro" blades I found that photo interesting in this respect,

greetings,

risto
