A great choice for touring or recreational kayak user. The Winnerwell Fiberglass-reinforced Nylon blades in multi-colors are lightweight and durable. The asymmetrical, slightly spooned blade shape combined with a lightweight, flexible fiberglass shaft produces smooth yet powerful strokes. Fiberglass-reinforced Nylon blades offer an unbeatable balance of lightweight versus durability. This is a paddle that can take all of the punishment you dish out and give you a great day on the water.

Great size and floats !
Struggled to find a wide enough for our inflatable kayak ( as the sides are a lot higher than a normal one ) but these work well , seem good quality and float so don't have to worry too much about dropping them.

Leicht
Das Paddel ist recht leicht und ich komme gut damit zurecht. Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Bof, elle servira de pagaie de secours
Trop de jeu au niveau de l’emboitement Pour que cette pagaie soit agréable à utiliser. Mais pour le prix je ne devais pas m’attendre à mieux. Finitions correctes.

欠陥商品
シャフトの中に水が溜まります。そして、この水は抜けません。欠陥商品だと思います。(その他)・グリップ部の形状が円形のままなので、ブレードの面がどちらを向いているのかが把握しづらく、瀬の中でロールしなければならないときなど焦ります。

重い!
グラスファイバーということで買ってみたが、相当重い!アルミに負けないくらい重い!えっ!グラスファイバーである必要なくね?ただ、強度はありそうです。グラスファイバーにしては。

Unsinkable, like the titanic.
What I liked: Blade shape and surface area. Allowed for long slow powerful strokes. great for eating up the distance, and in a 250cm length the weight was not bad.What I did not like: Somehow the right hand blade, the blade mind you not the paddle shaft but the blade managed to fill with water, unbalancing the paddle and making it damn heavy. after 2 hours this thing was now unusable. Thinking somehow water got into the shaft, I split the paddle and tried dumping it out, nope the water was in there now and was going to stay where it was.So now I had two options leave it propped up next to all my other paddles, where it looks good, but is totally unusable, or send it back. I chose the latter.Which is sad, as until it started filling with water, this was perhaps the best performing paddle I've used in a long time, and the first that allowed me to run my touring boat at close to it's theoretical top speed without getting tired.So all in all Five Stars for how it looks and performs, and deduct four stars for filling up with water. Looks like it was an issue in QC and would like to order another one thinking maybe I got a bad one from QC but hell I had to pay to send it back, because it's oversize even though amazon gave me a RMA label, I still had to box it up and you try and find a 4 foot long box that fits paddles. So I'm not taking the chance here.

Overall very happy
Overall, I'm very happy with the paddle. It is a tad heavier than I hoped/expected and the handle is a bit wider than my old paddle, but the difference was negligible once on the water. The paddle shape and size made paddling far more efficient than my previous paddle, despite being a tad heavier. I paddled close to 6 miles in the Gulf with it and couldn't be happier. The color also matches my kayak, so that was an added bonus.

Some people give boggess reviews
Got the 250 cm. I'm 5'6", couldn't be happier. No way this paddle leaks or sinks.I paddle a 14' SOT. No problems in the Mangroves or open water. If you thinks it leaks, put a light behind the blade and take a look This paddle is a lot better than some of the $400 and $500 paddles I have tried.

Water gets into the paddle, and won’t come out.
I order this paddle after using the aqua bound hybrid. I wanted a bigger blade. I absolutely loved the bigger blade, paddle is very heavy though. Also the most important was water got into the paddle some how making it even heavier, I can’t get the water out. It just sloshes in it. Plus the feathering isn’t great at all. It goes from straight to hard core, horrible to use in windy condition.

Nice light weight a steal for the price
It’s light weights and paddles really well even with shallow paddles.The colors pop really well and the build quality.My wife uses it with her Vapor 10 kayak and not a regretFor the price your getting a premium product for a entry level price

Great Paddles!
We were using aluminum shaft paddles for a long time and just thought it was the norm. We got these and were more than happy! Lighter weight, no dirty aluminum dust from years of wear and best of all, they provide better forward stroke power. Would definitely recommend!

Love it, Floats, feels good.
Nothing bad to say, dropped once, stayed floating, feels good paddling. Wish it was longer but that is my issue not theirs, got as long as they offered. Bright color keeps me visible. Good construction.

price is a little high
I haven't used it yet, but it looks like it will do the job nicely. I was looking for a long and light paddle. I just received it the other day and have not had it in the water yet. I can't wait to try it out The paddles are will made and seem strong. They screw together easily and be assembled quickly

Pretty expense paddle to snap on third use - DON’T BUY
Bought this paddle based on description - not sure if it was manufacturing defect - used it three times kayaking - third time on Kezar Lake in Maine - and it snapped. Nothing too aggressive, just regular paddling.
