I have the Ke Nalu Mana 90 with the 100 flex shaft ergo handle,great paddle and no complaints.I want to get the 82 mana just to make paddling a bit easier on my shoulders so I thought I would just get the 82 paddle blade and glue it to my existing shaft,done deal,but now I have a paddle that is one inch in height smaller than my mana 90,the 82 mana is 25 mm,2 1/2 cm or 1 inch smaller in height,I know it's not much but it's enough to feel if your a stickler for your paddle length,I love the versatility of the interchangeable Ke Nalu but not really as now I have to buy a new shaft to accommodate the size difference,or am I being to OCD? Lol I am a distance paddler mostly flat water.

Isn't there an extended handle option that's a cheaper fix for overshortening? I love my mama 82 and I love it even more after dropping an inch before my last session. I'm 1" above head and will drop another inch soon. Good luck
on bright side you were able to find one, my friend still waiting for supply since spring

kisutch I don't think the ergo handle is extendable and by the way I am a distance paddler sounds like your a surfer with your paddle at head height
