Matt Cooke. mattcookekayak.com Lightning Team Rider. Blog update

Hi,  my name is Matt Cooke and I have been paddling with Robson paddles for the last 10 years or so.  recently, I have switched to Lightning blades since the merge.  I have used hundreds of paddles in my paddling career and have found myself with a set of paddles that really suit my paddling style and volume of usage.  I have two sets of free ride crank paddles and use one set for freestyle and a slightly longer set with my magnum.  Up to now, I can't fault my paddles.  They are strong, smooth and light.  From what I have seen, the paddles take a licking and keep on ticking.  I have not seen a set break yet through paddling.     I have made a small pro mo on youtube and face book from some sessions in Wales and Canada.  These paddles seem to be becoming more and more popular in the pro kayaker scene proving their worth on the world stage.  see you all on the river.  peace,  Cookie :-)
