finest touring paddle
I don’t know about the finest. I don’t think it’s been made yet.
Buy a paddle that you can adjust the length so you can figure out if you like a more relaxed long 230-240 length touring stroke or a shorter 210-225 upright aggressive stroke.
Aleutian paddle
Like MintJulep, I use Aleutian paddles. I’ve made two different Aleutian designs and like them both better than euro blades or Greenland paddles.
Greenland paddles are the most versatile paddles, but for paddling, not rolling practice, I use Aleutian paddles.
