Paddle for SOT

I am almost 70 and use the Aquabond Stingray and is the best for the price paid...I never experienced any paddling fatigues, which I had a lot with those aluminum shaft paddles...

A somewhat upgrade is the full carbon fibre one

The latter I will buy once I upgrade my kayak to a Wilderess Tarpon 120

update: Bought a new Tarpon 120 with the carbon StingRay paddles..

Enjoy
