Thanks 😊 They are very different. The GalaSport Manic seems super geared towards slalom and racing. It gives you power when in the vertical position but lacks when it's not, especially if you are doing the sweep. The lettmann provides power no matter how you orientate the blade.
Thanks for the review, that was good feedback. I had a chance to try the paddle at a pool session and found it really nice to use. I've been considering getting one for a while now. I may have to bite the bullet and get one.
Great review thanks. I’m hoping I’m not going to regret waiting for new Werner Stealth, I’ve been so close to ordering the Lettmann, but I borrowed my buddies Surge the other week for the day and instantly loved the blade forward design and taken a punt that the Stealth will be even better 🙈
I keep my Lettmann Nitro in a paddle bag when on shuttle or anything but in the water. Getting bounced around in the back of a truck can scrape & chip it more than rocks- if you're cognizant on shallow stuff. I would also note that even if you break it, you usually only have to replace half of it due to it being a 2 piece.
@@gordmccoll5009 not sure what your go to roll is but if it’s a sweep I’m assuming with the blade forward design it probably breaks the water more on a set up so I’m wondering if that helps to keep it higher towards the surface on a sweep
