Ultimate kayak paddle????

What would you consider to be the ultimate kayak paddle for the bay area (if money we not an object), one that is light as a feather but can handle both bay and ocean conditions?
I ask because we went to Aquan Sports over the weekend (Shannon bought her wetsuit and dive boots) and I was amazed at some of  the all carbon paddles.  Insane.  the price ranges I noticed were from 200 to 400 bucks.
I have the Wern composite (Tybee) now.  i like it a lot but figured with next year's tax return might be fun to get something much much much lighter.  Besides, carbon fiber just plain looks cool. 

Love my Werner Shuna 220 carbon paddle.I'm a pretty high angle paddler.If I were a low angle paddler I'd go with the Werner carbon Camano.

my first paddle was a stingray carbon fiber paddle, very lightweight but i feel that the blades dont have enough bite for me

i bought a used werner camano and at first didnt like it since it felt heavier.  but i've become a better (and slightly stronger) paddler now so the last two trips i used it and it is really starting to grow on me.

For me it would be the carbon Werner Camano. It only saves a few ounces over the fiberglass/composite but if $ were no object.....

I'm pretty happy with my current paddle. It's a @ $100 paddle with plastic blades and a fiberglass handle. I'm pretty rough on gear and I often use the blades to push myself away from rocks or trees, or I'll just toss my paddle in the back of my truck with the rest of my gear. I like that it's rugged enough to take abuse, but it paddles well and didn't cost me an arm and a leg. If it breaks it won't be devastating to me and is easily replaceable. It isn't super light weight, but I've never had a day of paddling where I wished it was lighter, and I'm a sissy! 

If I used one of those ultralight carbon fiber paddles I would be worried about delaminating the paddle tips from too much abuse. The paddle I use is the Sea Passage Featherlok. It is adjustable length and infinite adjustment for feathering. For the price, I don't think I've seen a nicer paddle.

I just looked online and the MSRP is $150. I'm pretty sure I didn't pay more than $110 at Outback Adventures a few years ago. BTW, they make an all carbon version of the paddle too. My version weighs 35 ounces, the all carbon weighs 33 ounces, but the MSRP is $200.

I love my Werner Kalliste. It's only a few ounces lighter than my old paddle, but the weight loss is in the blades I guess, because it swings like a feather.

I bought a straight and bent version of the same paddle from a kayaker who doesn't anymore. Got to get around to selling the bent version.

Ben,
How much for the Werner and what legnth is it?

S H,
I bought a Kalistle from MBK a few years back with the bent shaft and after a few trips I changed all my paddles to bent shafts plus the foam filled blades help lift the blade out of the water making it feel even lighter.
 
I look at the paddle like a mechanic looks at his wrenches - If you want great performance get a great product. You don't see a mechanic worrying about scratching his Snap-On wrenches. Also if the blades do De laminate on a Werner they are guaranteed for life and they are good with customer service.
