I've been thinking about upgrading my paddle. So far I'm thinking a Werner Camano or Corryvrecken would be a good choice. I'm more of high angle paddle so the Corryvrecken would be "Werner's" reccomendation , but I'd like to hear what some of you think.  I've tried a Camano and it slipped through the water compared to my Aquabound. I'd like to hear some "opinions" about blade shape. Any help will be appreciated.

If you can try different paddles out that would be the best option. If you are ever in the Lodi area feel free to stop in the shop and take some of the paddles out for a demo. We carry Werner, Swift, Bending Branches, Aquabound and more.

I use an older Adventure Tech all glass paddle.  Whitewater style with long but moderation wide blades.  I DO NOT like the blades with a lot of curve in them, just a hare is best IMO...  more importantly is NOT TO HAVE aluminum shaft as they are cold and will suck all the warmth from your body on cool or cold days and in the ocean.  The glass warms up to the hand fast and is strong as hell.  After 7 years of hard use (700 days or more easily) mine are still in perfect shape and I guard them like an angry dog...

but hold onto several in the store before you buy, that shaft shape will become something you hold a lot  ;)
