I havent tried my 200 cm in much other than a down river run. The blade is light and so reduces fatigue. The blade doesnt seem to flutter. This is at least a great basic paddle.

It was a great paddle; apparently someone else thought it was too when they stole it from me after leaving it on the shore when loading the kayaks back in the vehicle. Now, Im back to order another one...

Great bang for the buck. It's cheaper than the comparable Aquabound and better, in my opinion. I have run a lot of rivers with one of these and had no problems. You'll get less power than you would if you bought a more expensive paddle with fiberglass or carbon fiber blades, but the flex that takes away from the power makes it easier on our shoulders than a firmer blade would be. The blade is smaller than a lot of the other Werner blades, but at the rate with which glass blades wear down, I don't think that is a big deal. This is a great paddle for the price, and you'll get good Werner workmanship and customer service too.

Seems like a good paddle. Not used to the less feathering and length but do ok with it. Well made and light. No arm/wrist fatigue after 4-5+ hrs on river. A little spendy.

Got a chance to use it down a remote section of class III during a trout fishin'/whitewater day trip and what a nice paddle! Just a touch lighter and slightly stiffer blade than the Rio model (another great paddle as well 4 the $$$) And great service from ACK! Shipped out fast too!

The Werner Desperado CF Whitewater Paddle is very lightweight, sturdy,powerful and has no flutter when paddling The blades held up very well to beating them off the rocks of the St. Francis River. There is almost no damage on the blades at all. I would highly recommend this paddle.
