Title: Re: How to choose a ZRE paddle

Stu Osthoff would tell you to go with a wooden straight shaft IF you have a strong J-stroke.

Me?  I'm with Old Salt.  My ZRE is a 54 inch bentshaft "Power Surge Medium" and I love it. Ultra-lightweight so I can go all day a lot easier.  I wouldn't use it to fend off rocks, though.

Styles of paddling vary, as should paddles.  Good luck with your selection.  I look forward to seeing what you have chosen in a few weeks!
