Great product for the price to get you started off on a low budget. Only complaint is the location of the cup holder and the storage being in back. Not sure how it does on anything more than extremely small waves made by boats. It doesn't feel sturdy enough for me to try because of the size.
This is a great starter paddle for the price. Light weight, almost conforms to hands. Only downfall is the rubber thing slides around after awhile. It would be better if it had some sort of padding for long day on river.
