Hey Russ,

 

Do you guys have any issues with rolling with the 180cm paddles?

 

I'm using a 194cm, but it feels too long while on the wave. However, it allows rolling to be performed easily. When I try rolling with my shorter 180cm paddle it is much harder.

 

I'd guess choking up on the paddle improves things, as well as being careful about good technique (blade angle etc).

Dave Struod was using a 168cm paddle. It looked like a toy but he ripped with it.

Three of us on US East Surf Kayak Team are using 180cm. I wouldn't go any longer.
