Thanks for the comments and kind words. That is a great observation regarding the gakasport Manic which is now one of my paddles of choice. You can see a comparison between it and the shogun video here ua-cam.com/video/P1Pwte_ATbM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Thanks again..
@yirequ2150 thanks for checking in. I haven't seen any real speeding up of wear on the foam core Werner paddles (shogun, stikine etc). The dynell edging ensures the blade doesn't wear away like a laminate paddle. I havent used the VE paddles myself so unfortunately don't have any meaningful insight into them..
I have used 30 degree paddles for as long as I can remember so as a personal thing, I certainly prefer 30 over 45. It also makes them a bit nicer for freestyle crossover paddling. Nothing wrong with 45 though, I would say it is probably a 50/50 split of river runner paddlers preferring each offset.
You kept using Galasport but no love in the video?!
Great video, thank you for making great content.

Thanks again..
how do we feel about the shogun and how quickly it wears down nowdays? + Do you have an opinion on the VE carbon paddles of palm?

Thinking of a Shogun. Do you like 45 degree or 30 degree offset for an intermediate/moderately advanced river runner?

How tall are you? Was thinking about the paddle shaft length.
I am 173cns tall (5' 9"). Thanks for checking out the video.
