| Review: | Paddle is light and great for a long time on the water. However blades are too small and requires much deeper strokes to get up to speed. Switch back to my broader paddles. | ||

| Review: | Thanks to Kate and the great customer service at ACK for suggesting this paddle. What a huge difference it makes!! I can paddle farther and longer than with my old aluminum paddle. Slices effortlessly in the calm water yet really powers through the rough water. Kate, ya did good - I love this paddle! | ||

| Review: | I really like the solid feel of this paddle. Light weight, feels good in my hands, can get my kayak moving quite fast when I want to. Blades match the color of my Old Town kayak. Blade shape goes through the water nicely. I would buy another one. | ||

| Review: | Absolutely love my bending branches paddles, and I own several and have recommended them to many friends who now own them. This one I purchased to go with my second favorite yak, and used on a test run eighteen miles around Hontoon Island State park in Deland Fl. on the St. Johns River,It did not disappoint and neither did ACK as they got it to me quickly as usual. thanks for everything you do. | ||

| Reviewer: | Chuck Thoma | Rating: 5 | Date: 05/08/2011 |
| Review: | I've been playing with paddle in garage the last couple days and I can't believe how light weight it is. I've kayaked many years as part of my job as a wildlife biologist (recently retired) but the paddles we used have always been aluminum and much heavier. The Bending Branches glass paddle should be a real treat to use by comparison. Still waiting for river to recede to more normal levels before setting sail. | ||

| Review: | Slice Glass...believe me, they named it right. This paddle slices thru the water with ease. Amazing paddle. Made a huge difference in my day trips. The only paddle I'll ever need. Thank you for excellent craftsmanship and to ack for fast service. I had no idea which paddle I needed. I called ack and a real person answered the phone on the second ring. I explained to him what my kayaking needs were, he recommended and I bought. Excellent company. Thanks again. | ||

| Review: | I purchased this Bending Branches Slice Glass Paddle to use when we take our daughter out paddling. We are not able to do this often enough to justify an expensive paddle, so this was an excellent option. This is a good paddle for the money and allows me to use my high angle style of paddling with pretty good results. | ||

| Review: | I'm a novice but this paddle made me feel like I knew what I was doing. It's so light I never tired and had no problem keeping up with my friends. I'm really glad I invested in this paddle. I like the bright orange color since my kayak is army green and not easy to see in the water. | ||
