You out there Pup morning and you other lot

Seen on Facebook feed. Maybe a new race board from naish by the looks of it??? Very different nose to their past offerings.

With the manufacturers making narrower and longer paddle blades are paddlers leaving the overall length of their paddles the same or are they adjusting them when they change to the new narrower/ longer blades ?
I would have thought that you make the overall length longer to ensure that you get the full length of the blade in the water. I.e. Keep. The shaft of the paddle the same length as you previous paddle and then because the new blade is longer that would make your overall paddle length longer..

Alright Who's going to win let see who can pick the top ten or who gets the closest to it!! nothing serious so don't go getting your knickers in a twist about it, just a bit of fun!!
Happy picking and yes i did put me 1st as positive thinking is half of the game
