Good for the priceApril 19, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have purchased 2 paddles for my kayak previously--a basic aluminum shaft starter paddle and an expensive carbon paddle. Several freinds have expressed interest in starting to paddle, one being 6 ft 4 in tall. Both of my paddles were too short for him to use in my boat. I purchased this paddle just to get him started comfortably. He loved it. We both thought for the recreational, occasional flat water paddler , it was a good value. Well made for the price and comfortable to use. He felt the cupped design of the blade helped him get more out of his stroke. Recommend for tall beginners out for a leisurely day on the water.
Great starter paddleMarch 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just bought a nice kayak that didn't have a paddle. I actually was astonished at the price of paddles. I think I made the right choice for my first paddle. The price was right, it's light, it's comfortable, it comes apart to store easily. It will make a great second paddle, if I ever buy a great paddle, which I may never do. I would say one thing, if your just starting don't spend money on a great paddle until you get a feel for what your doing and know what kind of "great" paddle you may want. I am beating the crap out of this one and if I had a "great" paddle right now I would have broken it at least twice.

Have two of the same sides of paddles. Have called and have left multiple messages, no response.
good basic paddle, good dealMarch 2, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
pretty decent utilitarian paddle. i think this is a better deal than all the other low end paddles out there, since shipping cost was zero.
