Gator Arms is a.k.a. Tyranasarus Rex Arms (at least that’s what we’ve always called it). It’s fun to pretend to have T-Rex Arms too…try it :slight_smile:

T2 = Smaller blades, right?
Is it one piece or two? If two - does it have tow positions? One 60, the other zero?



Yours is most likely 60 degree, right hand control. Pretty standard - but they can be the other way.

boat changes stroke
I’m 5’9" with a 1.06 ape index. In a Greenland boat (20" wide) my 84" paddle works great for me. When I paddle a touring boat (artic tern 23" wide) the motions seem more exagerated. I’m making a 86" paddle to see if it works better. That said, I just finished a 6 day trip in the tern and the 84" gp worked fine.
