Look at Voyageur paddles too, they're light weight, and very strong, I like the Bering Carbon, but the fiberglass models are nothing to overlook. Think about how often you will actually use it, you don't need a top of the line anything, if this is something you're going to do 10 times a year.
Another one to check out of course is the Tasman, either fiberglass or carbon.
I don't know the spec's on an extreme but a guy your size could use the 240cm. I tried my friend Ariel's 240cm and I felt it gave me more push.
I use a 220cm right now but next year I'll probably switch to a 230.
Good luck to you Tattuna, and tight lines, Lou Dog 8)
