About Me
Paddling almost 24/7, like playboating and creeking, but playboating is the main goal.
Pros / The Good
Awesome paddle, functionates realy good, so many control. Light.
Just fantastic to paddle with!
Cons / The Bad
They all say it has a high durabillity but it hasn't!
I broke mine yesterday :S.
I'm defenitly buying a new double diamond but i'm disapointed in how fast the paddle was dead.
I paddled like 1,5 year with it. Hit a rock under water with freestyling, not even hard and I rolled up, oops had half paddle blade left :S. So good paddle but i'm dissapointed in the durability.
