Nice input. I totally agree on injuries advice. I was very happy with Ono Ava 105 but now with elbow issue I moved to old smaller paddle to limit pain. Next one probably stingray or black project small size
One thing you didn't mention that I want to ask. The Ono 115 (or even the 105) are technically larger than the BP's 98in area. But the BPs is more concentrated together, like it is on the Stingray. So here's the question... does the Foil X L FEEL like a smaller blade with slightly less resistance per stroke than the Ono Ava 115 or 105, or does it feel the same due to the more concentrated together area?
I think the Ono still provides more power pound for pound. So if you have the same blade size on a BP and Ono, I would say the Ono will still give more oomph. But the difference is very minimal. But the BP does allow for a quick catch, and does come out of the water quicker and cleaner in my opinion. I think it has to do with the squished shape of the blade, as well as the angle.
@@foilwithmefoil90 Thanks. That's what I was hoping for. I wanted a bigger blade but with slightly less force needed compared to either of the larger Ono Avas.
