Allen,

FYI - I may count as more than one individual. When my wife paddles/fishes, she claims the T160 (she doesn't buy the "but the Scupper is lighter and easier to maneuver theory")  and the Kauai paddle. She only fishes from the 'yak about half a dozen times a year though. Your call.

In addition, James is using a Bending Branches kids paddle.

I use an aqua bound fiberglass Manta Ray.  Nathan uses the aqua bound fiberglass sting ray.  I also have two more aquabound paddles one Sting ray FG and one aluminum.

Aquabound Expedition AMT, the one with fiberglass shaft.  Not the lightest paddle, but it has proven to be very durable and is a slightly lighter than the aluminum shaft Aquabound Manta Ray that is now my backup/loaner...  And it never gets stuck.
