Let's compare the very extreme Ono Ava 115 to the Lima 82 Paddle.

I didn't make comment of this in the video - but how this translates into bumpy water is WAY more important than flat water.

Cadence or paddles per second might be a far more important metric in the bumps; meaning the ono ava could lose in that realm. Another question for another video.

I'm not just comparing these paddles I'm trying to comment on whether or not the new fancy QB paddle will have that much of a return on your investment in learning to DW Paddle Up and DW in the bumps.

James Casey agreed to contribute - so my sincere thanks to him for his time. If you're after coaching please go to caseyaus.com I'm a paying member of this group and have found it to be a wealth of knowledge but also a lot of fun and have met so many awesome people who are as obsessed with foiling as I am!

James is not affiliated with QB so please do think about supporting him as he supports this channel by considering his sponsors who also make fantastic paddle products
