Before I locked the wood spacer into position with epoxy, I went out for some test paddles to figure out what length felt the best for me, relative to the hull of my Outback.
It was a nice improvement.

You probably saved yourself 200-500$ on a paddle that is primarily just gonna sit there and look pretty.
