Title: Re: How to choose a ZRE paddle Post by Jimbo on May 31st, 2023 at 12:21pm
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! Jimbo 8-) |
