Just received one of the new all carbon fiber straight shaft kayak paddles from Tantrum Tow Ropes. It has a long cupped blade and is adjustable from 215 to 230cm in length. The feather is also adjustable. The first time I used it my mph two thirds the effort. It is extremely light 24 oz. and very cool. Greatly enjoy it and dealing with Tantrum Tow Ropes was a pleasure. Great price as well.
I bought an old town loon 138 8 years ago and have loved it. I travel an 8 mile circuit to view the scenery and for exercise on my local lake when ever possible. The only issue I have with the kayak is the seat needs more back support for me. The kayak is extremely stable in rough water and is quite fast. I would recommend (and often due) to anyone.
