     Nice and light, mine comes apart beautifully. It occasionally has a slight shudder, but a very good paddle for the price.

     Very practical paddle. And for the money, you can't beat it. I don't suggest this is the best paddle on the market, but is is 1/2 the price of anything better.

     This paddle is a bit narrower than the Aqua-bound sequel, which is also reviewed on this site. I often paddle solo in my Old Town Loon 160-T which is an 80lb recreational kayak. My usual trip is 6 hours (3 hours upstream, and 3 hours down). I find this paddle to be quite easy to use and am quite happy with it. The narrower paddle face reduces the effort needed to move the boat.

I have often taken this paddle apart, and it still fits together tightly with no wobble. I have often had to use the paddle to push the boat off gravel shoals, and in other abusive ways. It still looks great and shows virtually no wear.

For the money, I rate it a 10.
