About Me
Well been paddling for numerous years and had these paddles for the past 2 they have been to french italian alps with me and new zealand.
Playboater and river runner.
Pros / The Good
Lightweight of paddle
Big Powerful Blade (With very little flutter you know when you put a hard strong stroke into green water you can feel a bit of a wobble with some blades)
Look these are good looking paddles to me.
Cons / The Bad
The way they wear splinter but will take alot of abuse before any damage that will comprimise the use of them.
Sharpness of the edges be carful if your close to your mates in an eddy or in a pool as these blades are sharp!
