Light As A Feather
By TomboVerified Reviewer from Texas on 9/3/2008
Pros:
Adjustable, Comfortable Shaft, Good Control, Minimizes Fatigue, Reduces Flutter
Best Uses:
Day Trips, Touring

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I couldn't believe how light this paddle is! My friend was exhausted after a long run across a large lake and I was barely tired. My fishing rod is heavier than this paddle. I love the 2 piece design and the tuning capability. The paddle is of excellent quality and I would absolutely purchase it over again. This paddle makes kayaking so much more enjoyable because I can enjoy paddling instead of fighting it.

A little expensive
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A full day of paddling over the holiday weekend was a joy with this paddle and my new Native Marvel 12 kayak. With a slightly wider kayak this paddle came in handy for a little more speed. My wife and daughter were in their Wilderness Pungo 120's using their smaller shafted Aquabound Sting Ray paddles and they too worked out perfect! A day to remember! Thanks EMS

I can paddle comfortably for hours with this paddle in bays and on the Long Island Sound, unlike with my old paddle, where my back and arms would ache after about an hour.

I usually kayak day trips on Lake George, and this paddle is perfect for it. It is very light which helps to minimize fatigue for long paddling trips. It is adjustable and can be taken apart at the center for easy transport. It also comes in 2 sizes (220 and 230cm).
