Hello my dw colleague's.

Just wondering about paddle blade width and length.
It seems to make sense that I will be able to exert more force forward if I have a bigger blade.
A few of the Hawaii guys seem to have shovels for paddles!
I have a yob west oz paddle which I love for the incredible shaft stiffness but the area of blade is not big enough (perhaps).
What is everybody using in Oz?
Do you recommend a size or brand?

Cheers
