| Review: | I have a Hobie 9i (inflatable) and this is a wider kayak.. I made the mistake of purchasing a 220 and kept splashing myself...I finally bit the bullet and purchased the 240 and it has made all the difference in the world! I love this paddle and the lightness, durability and ease of use are unsurpassed (and I am considerably drier!) I also would advise purchasing one of the bags (make sure you find one that will fit the 240)..it is a little investment but pays for itself as you can store quite a few items in it, it protects your paddle in the car, and helps keep things organized. Regardless of the bag, I know it is expensive, but it truly is worth the investment. | ||||

| Review: | I bought two Kalliste straight shaft paddles 240 CM based on the reviews I read on them. We really couldn't afford them, but they have made a great difference in our kayaking experience. We look forward to going kayaking now. Before it was an ambivalent experience, the water and kayaks were great [Ocean Kayak Caper], but the wear on the shoulders and arms was not pleasant. Now it's a delight to pick up the paddle and shove off and go look around. We are not distance paddlers yet, but the paddles are still great. | ||||

| Review: | Although expensive, this paddle is worth every cent and then some. Although it is unbelievably light, the real advantage is its buoyancy that is most notable at the completion of a forward stroke. It just pops out of the water at the perfect moment. Also, the absence of a traditional reinforcing spline on the back of the paddle face makes sculling a piece of cake, which in turn makes rolling incredibly easy. | ||||
