Turbulence Test // Review

It gets a bit boring paddling on the edge of the pool while rehabilitating from shoulder surgery, so... Paddles tested: - Kialoa Pipes (7.4") - C4 Waterman Carbon-Kevlar (8") - Kialoa Methane (8") - Quickblade Kanaha (8.3") - Quickblade Elite Racer (8.7") I'm not too sure what the results of this very technical and well thought out test are! They all look pretty similar to me - maybe a bit less wash coming off the Quickblades (especially the Elite Racer). It's not really a true test because the edge of the pool isn't moving past the paddle like a board would be - but that would be a whole heap harder to shoot.
