i would strongly recomend going with another paddle. I have owned two seven2
paddles and both have broken on me, in flatwater. They perform alright, but they break like mad, i actually patched up the broken side to use in a pool, and the OTHER side broke on me, i couldn't believe it. never get one.

I have two friends that have purchased Seven 2 Helio paddles recently. I used it one flatwater once, and it was decent to paddle with but:

My bro-in-law got one and after one day on a lake practicing his roll, he noticed that it sounded like there were pieces rattling around inside of it, so he took it back. The second one started getting water in it after one trip down a class 3 river and had a large crack on the edge of the blade that went all the way into the foam filled interior, so he took it back and got a Werner Stikine and has had zero issues since.

My kayaking buddy has had one since the beginning of the season, and I am not kidding when I say that the blades have more repair spots then actual original blade. It has cracked, leaked, chipped, and is now mostly resin. He is looking for another paddle as we speak. He had an older Seven2 that he liked alot and had zero issues with which is why he bought the new one.

I know you are asking about a different paddle, but if it is anything like the Helio, it is overpriced junk from what I have seen. I would like to be proven wrong as I did like how it paddled, and almost bought one myself.

I heard that they were decent years ago, but with my friends recent experiences, I would not recomend the brand to anyone.
