You get what you pay for - a lot!

Rating:*****
Let me first say that I don't own a phenomenal kayak. In fact, this paddle costs nearly as much as my boat did (and more than my first boat!)

But it is absolutely, 100% worth the money. It weighs almost nothing, I can go around paddling it for hours.

It's also very powerful - the first time I took it out I thought I was pushing off solid ground. I had to check that I wasn't hitting the bottom of the lake! It does actually increase my kayaking speed.

Fantastic paddle, well worth the money.

Solid Performance, Well Worth the Money

Rating:*****
I use this paddle 2-3 times a week for long periods of time and have yet to experience any noticeable fatigue. I own several paddles from other brands and this one is by far my favorite. I bought it because it was a perfect balance between weight and price, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, well-performing paddle.
