I bought the KPA at Cabelas for $70. It is 230cm and replaced a No Limits Torrent (220). I noticed a large difference in the amount of propulsion that I can achieve from each stroke. The weight is light, especially for an aluminum paddle. Both hands are oval shaped, instead of just the right side which seems to be popular for some reason. The blades do give a little in the water, I'm assuming that is the design of it. My wife switched me paddles once while we were out and paddling around, then she left me floating in the wake with her more expensive Field and Stream paddle. We went immediately to Cabelas and purchased another one, for her.
This paddle is great and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The older KPAs had some issues with the connection breaking, but they have since redesigned them and they are allegedly very strong now, I've had it in the water for around 6-7 Hours and have noticed no issues with it.
