Kayak Paddle

[Dolores Malone]

I was out on the lake yesterday, and I noticed that I had a stress fracture around 3/4 of the shaft where the two-piece paddles connect. Of course this was just a few hours in the trip. My buddy got a couple of sticks as splints and we jammed a similarly sized stick inside the tube for added support. The paddle is actually stronger than it was before, however, I believe it's time for a replacement.
I need some recommendations for the best kayak paddle. My yak is 36" wide and I'm always in the raised seat position of my predator MX. Here are a few paddles. Please let me know if you have experience with any of them and tell me your thoughts.

I wouldnt buy any of those

I always buy Werner both for WW and seakayak, the good thing about werner is

you can get them in regular or small shaft

straight or bent shaft

the crazy exspensive carbon paddles actualy paddle the same as the lower priced versions just not quite as light


how much you wana spend ?

Check out the Werner Camano. A little pricey but well worth it in the long run.

Aqua Bound makes a good paddle, not as $$$ as Werner. Check out the Stingray. All the paddles in that review are garbage IMHO.

I didn't realize Werner made wood paddles it must have been a long fucking time ago, I pretty much only buy Werner at this point

pretty much anything that includes a link right off the get go is spam Dolores spams every so often and mess with her game

I been using werner since about 95 and they have all been FG or CF before that it was a huge 90degree wood paddle

IME FG and especialy CF are lighter than wood

Personally I like aquabound. Nice balance of price and performance for me.

Have you ever tried fiberglass paddles? The one in the link below has a fiberglass shaft and "fiberglass reinforced polypropelyne blades"
