Aquabound paddle?

Aquabound paddle?
by Kevin Kevin

Has anybody used an aquabound paddle? Like it? Don't like it?
I can get a deal on one, and I hate the one I'm using- I just won't be able to demo it before I commit...

Thanks

The Edge...
by Dave Dave

Kevin,

I have two Aquabound Edge paddles, both with fiberglass shafts, and I really like them. I have been using one as my primary C-1 paddle for about 18 months, in often-shallow, rock-garden, river conditions. I find the paddle to be strong, light, and easy to feather, even with the spoon blade. My blade is just starting to show minimal wear on the lower-forward corner. The bottom line is, I would buy one again, and may pick one up with the carbon shaft/carbon injected blade. Just my 2 cents-worth - hope this helps.

Safe Paddlin',
Dave

I have two of the black ones and I like both of them.

They are a good choice in their price range. There are better paddles out there for more dollars.

The ends of the blades are a little shorter now since the rocks have worn away the tip.

I don't like their version with the white blade.

Good luck.
