This is by far the best performing low angle sea kayak tour style paddle. I have been using this paddle a little under a year, but am returning it for warranty work. I kayak with folks that go out quite often and demand the best quality equipment. Almost all of them use or have used Werner paddles. The one thing most of them have in common is issues with the button connection. My first Werner had issues and now my Kalliste is having similar issues. In this case, the spring is staying in the compressed position and I cannot budge it. Unfortunate because I cannot think of anything else that I do not simply love about this great product. I wish Werner would get their act together. If Celtic and Aqua-Bound can find a good solution, why not Werner? (I have submitted for warranty and am awaiting response from the company)
