Picked up my new Impression 260 cm Friday. Paddled Saturday and Sunday morning in strong winds. Loved it!

With the 240 cm I tested (they didn't have 260) I constantly hit the side of the canoe. With the 260 I could paddle relaxed in a low angle position without hitting.

A feature I like with the wood paddle is the oval shape of the shaft. With the locking pin in the off center position my pushing hand was always against the wider surface adding to comfort.

And of course the wood paddle looks great.

Thanks for your advise on sizing.
