Looking for a paddle

I need a decent paddle. I have a relatively steep angle stroke, and paddle a T13, so something in the 220-230 range. Definitely light, but I don't want to break the bank.

Any suggestions of good cost/performance paddles, a sale going on, or someone who may have a used one they want to sell would be greatly appreciated!

The REI outlet has good deals on a couple of Bending Branches paddles. I recently picked up the Spirit Day (http://www.rei.com/outlet/product/794363) there, and I'm very pleased. It's slightly lighter than a comparable Werner and much more affordable, especially with the sale price. The biggest difference between the BB and a Werner, as far as I can tell, is that the BB only has three potential feather settings, whereas the Werner has a much wider adjustment range.

Good call on the REI Outlet store.

There are a ton of paddles there for varying prices. Does anyone have an opinion on the Bending Branches Slice paddle? It has been reduced to $89, which if it's a decent paddle, seems like a real deal.

A good paddle seems to really make a difference - what do you guys feel is a reasonable budget?

Nice thing about purchasing from REI is their return policy.  If you end up not liking the paddle, you can return it and try another one.

that looks really good I might have to get one too...

I had the Slice Angler same paddle without the rule loved it wish I wouldn't have sold it I have the Breeze now and I'm happy with it I just sorta wish I had the Slice for the River as it's a tougher paddle and almost as light.

And it's a lot cheaper. Thanks for the input, Mickfish - good to know. I'm leaning towards this paddle as it is cheap, through it I can figure out what my future "ultimate" paddle should be, and even then it would make a fine back-up.

If your in a prowler you might want to consider a 240cm paddle it will make it a little less steep.  I have a T15 and I thought I wanted a 230, I'm almost 6' tall, the clerk suggested I try both,  I still have the 240.
