Phil Allen Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Welcome to NSPN. IMO and only based on the picture I'd think the blade is intended for more of a low angle stroke. For example, compare the shapes of the Werner Ikelos or Cypress (high angle) vs Kalliste (low angle) here: http://www.wernerpaddles.com/paddles/touring best Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Glancing quickly at the photos of this paddle and others on their site, I would agree with Phil that this is a low angle blade. That may also be why they refer to it as a "touring" paddle (even though many of us "tour" with high angle blades) which generally refers to a more relaxed, recreational style of paddling.

Nick1979 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I will add that 30oz is heavy for a $300 paddle. I would stick with Werner, Accent, and Aquabound. Edited July 3, 2017 by Nick1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leong Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 When I don't use a wing this is my paddle of choice. http://www.epickayaks.com/product/product/epic-active-touring-paddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
