Hi! If you have time, you can watch this outrigging video, but it still applies to us dragon boaters, especially with the new D-stroke that they are teaching us:

This is Coach Corey from California teaching paddlers how to stroke.

I am considering buying a longer DB paddle. I noticed myself today that I had to lean forward a little bit because my paddle was short (size 44), and I am not catching any water if I just sit up. If any of the men are considering buying a longer paddle, maybe I can buy your "old" paddle, so i can have a longer one. I am a size 49 with my outrigger's paddle. Maybe I should buy a 47 with DB...I am still deciding on that, but let me know if any of you guys with longer paddles want to sell your "old" one.

Thanks!

Victorina

Thanks for the tip Vic!
