| Whitewater Forum : Sherpa VS Stikine |
Author: Ellingferd Subject: Sherpa VS Stikine Posted: 23 Feb 2017 at 2:43pm From 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 just don't work for me. They are incredibly stiff, which is what some like. I would switch back to werner if they offered a bent shaft fiberglass paddle, or if they developed a carbon shaft with a bit more flex. That's my two cents. |

| Whitewater Forum : A dying breed. The playboater. |
Author: Ellingferd Subject: A dying breed. The playboater. Posted: 23 Feb 2017 at 2:38pm I 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. Downriver wave moves can be had in-between all the major spots, and I often try to see how many macho moves and kickflips I can get between rodeo, trinity, and turkey. The section of rolling waves just above turkey, which I now refer to as Randy Savage, is literally one of the best sections for macho moves I have ever paddled (and I have spent my time on the New and Gauley, probably the two best playboat runs in the country if you include the dries). As for other runs, the sky at 5k and above is awesome for playboats and offers up great downriver potential. I have gotten some of the biggest downriver moves of my life in aquagasm and other places at flows above 9k in my playboat. The problem is that people seem to be paddling runs like the sky in creek boats, which I really dont understand. Dufay in particular. |

| Whitewater Forum : Sherpa VS Stikine |
Author: chipmaney Subject: Sherpa VS Stikine Posted: 23 Feb 2017 at 4:37pm Blade 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 shoulder stress. Of course, I have questionable technique; good technique may make this a moot point. Folks are correct, carbon vs fiberglass makes a huge difference. I prefer a super stiff blade so found going to a smaller blade was a good compromise instead of sacrificing stiffness. In the end, it's really a matter of preference. big blade vs. small blade. stiff vs. flexible. Personally, I love my super stiff, smaller-bladed Stikine! |

| Whitewater Forum : Sherpa VS Stikine |
Author: turtlepower Subject: Sherpa VS Stikine Posted: 23 Feb 2017 at 8:00pm Using 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. Even though the dynell is pretty hardy,rocks are even hardier and can wear down that protective coating which can cause a blade to "peel apart" or delaminate at the edges. Aquaseal some quarter inch door trim over the edge of the blade & get more life out of it. Edited by turtlepower - Today at 8:03pm |
