Light weight, sturdy and inexpensive! Solo canoe paddlers - Great Buy!
I bought this paddle for my Wenonah Solo Plus Canoe to use in Florida. Three firsts for me: Paddling a Solo canoe, Paddling in Florida and Paddling using a double-blade paddle. After 40+ years of paddling using straight and bent shaft single blades in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and other areas up north I didn't know what to expect here. Even though I'm choosing to incorporate a kayak paddle, I still use a bent shaft half the time, because it's more leisurely and relaxing and usually involves a nice tail wind/breeze. I wrote this longer review to address the concerns which are more concerning solo canoe paddler versus those paddling a kayak.I put quite a bit of research into material, length, brands, weight, etc.. Experienced solo canoe double paddlers were recommending anywhere from a 210 cm to a 280 (7-9 ft about). Their biggest concerns were wind, water drippings in the canoe, physical endurance, canoe gunwale width and maintainable speed. Any length will aid with wind concerns, but for the most part a longer paddle will provide a better adjustment to compensate. Water drippings for a canoe are usually less with the longer the paddle also, but technique also plays a part. Physical endurance is cut shorter with a longer paddle, requiring additional exertion with the added length. Gunwale width is a major consideration, especially the paddles angle to reach the water without scraping the gunwales. The wider the gunwale width means the longer the double bladed paddle. Lastly, maintainable speed has a lot to do with blade length and design, paddler's physical condition and technique and the environmental conditions your paddling in (wind direction, speed, waves, obstructions in the water and water body size). This is all a lot to consider in making a decision, but if you do, the choice you make is more likely going to be a much better one than trial and error.I chose this paddle with all the above considerations and reasons. Yes, I know there are some really great, but much more expensive double paddles out there. But consider this, the cost keeps a lot of $ in your pocket, its light weight is fabulous for endurance, blade design is great (especially for shallow dipping) and the grips on this one are very comfortable. The 3-position blade angle design affords choices and is quick to change while paddling. The length is 96" (8 ft or 243.84 cm) and for a gunwale width on my Solo Plus of 29 inches it works really well. I still get drippings in the canoe, but not when I lean into the paddling or lower to my knees due to wanting to increase my speed or am fighting a wind. Even though a longer paddle would reduce the water drippings, it would also reduce my ability to maintain a longer and/or faster paddling tempo. The water drippings are easy to handle by using a large sponge by your feet and squeezing it out every 20-30 minutes or so. I will say I'm very happy with this paddle after using it and my concerns wondering if it would stand up with such a light weight and lighter material were unfounded. Its sturdiness is great!
