Remo Razor Race Pro by Tomás Sánchez

TEST The paddles I’ve been testing is the Razor Race Pro with intermediate flex pole (there are three hardnesses available) and the extendable Razor Race Pro with the stiffer pole. To do a comparative test with my usual paddle, I decided to use the extendable oar with the stiffer pole and the M-size paddle. Although it could seem, that being “a two pieces” could penalize me, I preferred to use this because it adapted more to my characteristics. I was carrying out interspersed series over several days, between which I changed paddling and tried not to make them excessively long to be able to compare a larger sample and always doing the same route. My expectations were not very high as it was an extendable paddle, and since my usual paddle (of a well-known brand and model) had given me good results, but the results in the GPS, which was the most objective data I could count on They were quite surprising. The average speed was always a little higher using the G-Power paddle at the same or lower stroke rate and applying the same intensity. The data I obtained after several days and multiple series left me in no doubt.
