Clocked 7.5mph per my garmin instinct watch on saturday morning. Paddling in the harbor, low traffic, no fishing gear so load was pretty light. I had my fish finder with me just for the speedo and gps and that registered 7.2mph as the fastest speed.
Both were recorded during a sprint. 4.5-5mph was a reasonable cruising speed with a good duration of glide when I stop paddling.
Height 5'10" weight 212# athletic build
full carbon RPC3 mid wing paddle set to about 218cm with a +15° feather
Still getting used to paddling a relatively narrow kayak i may have to shorten the paddle down to maybe 216 or 217cm and I need to find the right feather. I always mess with it on the water and after using that paddle for a year I cant ever remember exactly how I like it.
