In Response To: Re: Really short paddles (risto)

I would think I would have more time to make paddles, but it turns out I haven't so I have not yet gone below 200 cm.

I did try someones 240 cm recently and it felt like it was impossible to get out of the water.

: So am I guessing right if I suppose you went to 200 and as it felt OK (in my
: own experience it was a good compromise) didn't try to see what there was
: beyond? I can understand why people who buy their paddles don't experiment
: - why risk ruining an expensive item especially as one thinks "this
: is just right" - thats why one bought it in the first place. But it's
: not so easy to understand why people who build their own at low cost don't
: experiment. Maybe there are many other, more rewarding things to
: experiment with.
