I need a new paddle since my Mid Swift Touring Paddle is getting old, after fifteen years of hard use. I love this paddle and it works great for use with my solo canoe and my sea kayak. I also love the uniqueness of the cloth impregnation and I supplied my own cloth for the paddles. It lets me paddle up to 18 miles without getting tired and I'm usually at the front of the pack, even now, at age 73.
