Received my new paddle today and I am very pleased with it. First, it is a beautiful piece of work (art). Second, it is so light. It only weighs 26 ounces which compares to much more expensive full carbon paddles. I took it out for a little 6 mile paddle on smooth water this afternoon and was very pleased with all aspects of the paddle.
Before buying the paddle I tried a friends Epic full carbon wing, a Werner carbon foam core, and several other high end paddles. I liked each one of them in different ways, especially the weight but not the price.
I highly recommend the paddle.
