I'm using one and I love it, but I might not be 100% partial...

Esquif is now importing them into the US and Canada for those who wonder how to get your hands on these sweet paddles!

Hi tvann,

I used one for about a month: great forward stroke, nice flex in the shaft. There was nothing else I liked about this paddle, the man problem is all the ridges on the blade. This makes any knifing of the blade very sluggish and noisy. Most likely ok for C1 playboating.

My Ex-girlfriend was sponsored by Ophion; She eventually bought a set of werner paddles instead... Nuff said really.
