Whitewater Forum : Sherpa VS Stikine

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: turtlepowerSubject: Sherpa VS StikinePosted: 23 Feb 2017 at 8:00pmUsing automotive doortrim to cover the edge of the paddle blade doesn't seem to affect the performance from what I've seen & experienced. I got the idea after noticing a really talented paddler used it on his paddles. Foam core paddle blades are made up of laminate layers with a protective dynell trim along the edges. Eve...

Whitewater Forum : Sherpa VS Stikine

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: chipmaneySubject: Sherpa VS StikinePosted: 23 Feb 2017 at 4:37pmBlade size and shape will definitely affect your paddling. Bigger blades grab more water so give you more power. Bigger boof stroke. This may not be good if you have more physicality than technique. Also, it's more force on your body. I switched from the Shogun to the Stickine and noticed a significant difference in shoulde...

Whitewater Forum : A dying breed. The playboater.

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: EllingferdSubject: A dying breed. The playboater.Posted: 23 Feb 2017 at 2:38pmI agree with the sentiment that it would be nice if more people playboated. WA is a little lacking in the playspot department, but I dont think its as dire as everyone makes it out to be. The Wenatchee is about as good as it gets when the spots are in, and there is plenty of downriver to be had at those levels...

Whitewater Forum : Sherpa VS Stikine

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: EllingferdSubject: Sherpa VS StikinePosted: 23 Feb 2017 at 2:43pmFrom my experience, I would recommend not getting a carbon shaft from Werner. I paddled all carbon werners for a long time and began developing elbow tendonitis which completely went away when I switched to an AT flexi. Werner's fiberglass shafts are great and will provide a good amount of flex, but their carbon shafts jus...
