Not the good old days
Light, responsive, and grips water for power-strokes. Having it out only four times, the blade tip is already splitting from a few rock strikes. I have a Warner kayak paddle at least 15 years old and though it is worn down, the glass is not split. They don’t make them like they used to.
Also, the molded clamshell palm grip was offset and lots of sanding to smooth it out was needed.

Great paddle. Use it for tandem and solo canoeing. Liked it as an affordable and durable option.

Bandit - YEEEEEHAAAAAW
It's a shame that this paddle is no longer offered with a wooden t-grip. The plastic grip is nice (better than the AB Edge) but wood is better. Compared to the AB Edge this paddle has a much nicer (mildly indexed I think) shaft and the blade is much more substantial. Also it's nice to have a bright yellow paddle that's easier to see if.. uh.. let's say I lend it to my _friend_ and they drop it during a white water swim.

Just what I wanted, nice and light.
While it's not the paddle the most serious racers or creek boaters would choose, for the mid-level paddler like me, it's one of the best paddles for your money. I use it on rocky Wisconsin whitewater and in bigger water out West. It's lightweight, has a comfortable shaft and grip, and is quite durable for it's weight and price. Some serious paddlers have even started using auto-door lining to increase the abrasion durability of the bottom edge of the paddle. The only downside is that the blade is so thin that it flutters a bit when doing an underwater return.

Why did you choose this?
Lightweight and nice handle to fit hand.
familiar with Werner Paddles but not this one... I don't need the added expense of carbon, fiberglass will do fine for what I need
I need a new paddle. It's a good one for the cost
Best paddle ever. Strong and the scooped blade offers even more power.
