Advice on a paddle 16 years 10 months ago #22144

I have recently got the paddling bug and had the opportunity to buy a large Fluid Flirt at production price so i was privilidged that way. I am keen to get using it as soon as possible but need a little advice on which paddle to go for. I am about 6foot one inches, and 85kilos in weight. I train regularly in the gym too and am confident in my strength. I was looking at getting a werner rio as they are fairly cheap but has anyone got any suggestions. Price is a little issue too as i am a student!! any help welcome cheers guys!

you could prob use the Robson Red good paddle for stronger people who want to play basicly cheaper version of a Werner player which would suit you if you have the money for one

Sounds like a good length. I'm 6' and play with 194cm and creek with 197cm. It's also a personal preference. Some people prefer shorter... B)
