My main boat is a Perception Monterey 14' and I mainly use it on rivers and lakes for casual use. I have tried numerous paddles and never found one I really liked until I tried the Carlisle Magic Plus Kayak Paddle. This is the first paddle I have used that does not give me wrist pain, even after 5-6 hours of use.

The paddle is very light compared to others I have used and it controls my boat very well. It is constructed nicely and has 3 settings for different styles of paddling. The price on it is very good, I have seen it on sale for as low as $79 so it is affordable for even the most casual paddlers. I have already recommended this paddle to many friends and the ones who have purchased it have been equally pleased.

This is a fiberglass paddle, and I did test one carbon fiber paddle also, but I actually preferred this one. I would easily give this 5 Stars and recommend to anyone looking for either a low priced entry level paddle, or a great backup paddle.
