Review:	Ive been very pleased with this paddle. Its very lightweight and has a comfortable grip. This is the 3rd set of paddles Ive bought in 30 years of canoeing, and I will readily buy another one if the need arises.

Review:	This paddle performs as great as it looks. It delivers plenty of power and control for river situations and its reinforced blade is extremely tough! The handle and shaft are very comfortable, albeit thinner than most paddles with an 8 inch wide blade (the literature that comes with the paddle says it is designed for smaller hands, but the website fails to mention this) but even with my large hands I had no problems, it just feels different. This is one of the lightest 60 inch paddles I have ever picked up - Great!
