 Kayak paddles-best value May 7, 2007

Just needed new paddles for family summer vacation use. These are far superior than the discount store varieties for not a whole lot more money. We didn't want professional grade, just something for the kids to use in the lake. Made strong, with adjustments to paddle direction a nice feature.
 Cheap yet light, functional kayak paddle May 28, 2008

While there are certainly better paddles out there, this one is excellent for the money. It's relatively light (probably the lightest decent quality paddle you could get for the price), has very nice grips and includes drip guards that are as functional as any (read: not incredibly, but reasonably). This is a short paddle for those who prefer power strokes at steep angles of entry into the water. For those looking for touring paddles that you put into the water at a less steep angle (for an easier stroke that doesn't generate quite as much speed), you might consider going longer (90"+ range; kayak paddles shouldn't be based on your height so much as your paddling style). Overall, I recommend this paddle as a decent, cheap beginner's paddle; it would work well as a spare if you ever decide to upgrade.
 Check the shipping charge before you buy! August 26, 2008

Yup, I just about pulled the trigger and purchased this item until I noticed the $86.95 shipping charge. That's EIGHTY-SIX DOLLARS AND NINETY FIVE CENTS. Extreme typo or "E-bay style" ripoff charge? You make the call!
Great bargain! October 10, 2007

You can't beat these paddles for the price. They can be adjusted to different angles and the padded grips are very comfortable. I don't feel like I'm getting blisters when I paddle. The scooped shape is nice, though they do seem to sling water back into the boat. No real complaints though -- I like these as well as or better than any other paddles I've used.
Great paddle for the Price May 20, 2008

For a beginning kayaker this paddle fits the bill. Three positions to choose from for paddle end placement. Foam hand grips, these can stick when you want to move them or slide when you wish they wouldn't, but that was seldom. For casual trips down the Arkansas river this paddle did the trick and didn't cost a bundle.
