SUP paddle

So, I'm all excited about trying SUP padling.
The Aqua Marina Fusion is already bought and should be delivered to me some day this week, so today I went and got a paddle.

There are so many different SUP paddles available that I had a hard time deciding which one to buy. I knew I wanted one I could transport i several pieces in the Aqua Marina transport bag. And it should be lightweight, the right size... but should I go for an expensive dual-tech, 2-in-1 paddle? Or a telescope one?
What about material, aluminum or carbon?

So - I decided to just try the paddle favoritegymbuddy had lying around at his place. It turned out, he didn't even remembered where it came from - since the paddle for his canoe was there together with the canoe...

Anyway I took a little hike up the valley, inspected the paddle and found it ok to start with.
About 150cm in length, that is 10cm below my height, I think it will be fine to start with, even though it's a little short.

But I will get started!
And that's great.
I won't have to order some paddle and wait for it to come in the mail...
Oh I am happy with it!

I had to fool around when I went to get the paddle. Favoritegymbuddy wasn't at home and the thought of carrying the paddle 3km through the woods back home was just too funny. And I was so happy!
