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 🙈
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.
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.
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

Let me know what you think 🧐 I am hoping to get my hands on one for a review soon.
Also got to love that blade forward design
ever try a gala? the first time you use one feels rediculous
Try the Lettmann Nitro if you like forward offset.
@@beenwithalowercaseb19 I took one look at the blade and was scared of popping my shoulder. I’m assuming it’s a beast?

My pleasure to share my feedback. You won't regret it. 😁
Nice little review, how did you find these in relation to the Galasport Manics, they seem a very similar design philosophy

Thanks Jack for your input, I agree 💯

@@followingrj super easy it's probably my favorite paddle to roll with
