Infusion Dream kayak paddle

One key feature of this paddle is the foam padding along the handle grip areas. It is amazing that they can include this and still keep this aluminum-shafted paddle at about 36 ounces. This padding feature may be good for those who don’t work a lot with their hands, and therefore, paddling for a few hours w/ bare hands could get sore if you don’t wear a good pair of gloves. The padding also makes it quieter when you set the paddle on top of your kayak for a moment, and the paddle won’t slide around as easily while it is sitting there. The blade curvature has a nice "bite" to it, and it seems like a fairly sturdy paddle. It is also a fairly dry paddle. I like using it.
