Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

I don't know much about that product, or paddles in general for that matter, but I have bought tons of stuff from sierratradingpost and haven't been disappointed yet.  My dry jacket and pants came from there.  Got them for about 1/2 price and couldn't be happier.  So stay away from that site so there is more for me to buy!  :booty:

Anybody have or use one of these? Looks like a good price.

Looks like a good deal especially with the carbon shaft.

Mike, does a one piece paddle and 60 degree feather angle work for you?

If so, then I'd buy it.

Personally, I prefer a two piece with adjustable feather and length.

No I have a glass paddle that I bought from STP last year and it will do for now. That paddle wouldn't work for me I don't feather and I need a 2pc. Having a F&D I think I will buy a faster kayak and then step up to a carbon maybe an ONNO or a Swift.
