Paddlers Say
What Paddlers Say About Us...
You know, when I first picked up that Greenland paddle, it felt surprisingly hefty. But out on the water? It's incredibly light and agile. Completely changed my perception of 'heavy' in the hand versus 'light' in the water.
About Greenland Paddle
The details on the Greenland are top-notch. And being able to swap out the tips? Genius. It just adds that layer of versatility.
I'm usually one to tape up my Euro paddle edges, so seeing that rubber 'sock' for the Greenland made me think: why not for Euro paddles too? Such a smart way to protect the tips and edges.
On the Ashika Paddle
The Ashika is impressively light, and that grip zone is a game-changer for comfort. My hand just sits right where it should.
Paddling the Ashika, especially on the surfski, I really felt an extra sense of stability. It's almost like the blade shape just locks into the water better. Super confident strokes.
After a few sessions with the Ashika, I did notice some water getting inside the right blade. It seems to be coming from the cap at the joint – it's a bit loose. Hoping that's an easy fix because otherwise, this paddle feels amazing.
That Ashika just feels 'planted' in the water. There's a stability there that's hard to describe, but you definitely feel it, especially when you're pushing hard.
General Enthusiasm
Honestly, these paddles are awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on the other models!
It's always exciting to try a new paddle that really makes you re-think your stroke or what a paddle can do.
