A followup on our chat about paddle length and grip:

I have tried a few things:

Narrower grip
Narrower boats
Longer paddle.

My paddle was 197cm. Switching to 203cm paddle with downturned blades and simultaneously using narrower boat made the paddle feel too long again. Werner suggests 200cm for my height and looks like they are right, but I think the 197cm will work ok for narrower and smaller boats. It is amazing what just 3 to 6cm on paddle length does.

Interestingly, EJ's River Running DVD says for river running you can go way way longer especially when starting out, and that he generally disagrees with paddle manufacturer guidelines on that. If you have a longer full volume boat with little rocker, you definitely can do more effective sweeps and forward strokes with a paddle a bit longer.

my experience so far has led me to believe there isn't really much difference in all these products/setups. Every boat, every paddle, every pfd, etc has felt different/odd at first, but after awhile ya figure out it's tricks, and it feels about the same. I think it's easy when you're beginning to chase the 'best' setup, when reality is, we just need to practice. Some boats are the right tool for the job, but some folks prove that to be ambiguous all the time.

Did anyone paddle the MM on Sunday? Is it really +4K? I have a hard time believing it is even with the warmer weather. Plus the Sky and other rivers haven't spiked despite the warmer weather. The "blip" is pretty vertical making me think the gauge got bumped or something.
Just curious.
Thanks!
