Redyak07,
F.W.I.W.
I got the Corryvekken, in the full carbon model from Andy at OEX
and it moves ALOT of water
but you do feel it
Great for pushing thru the surf or for burst of speed when needed
not so good for long cruising paddeling (touring?)
but I have gotten used to it
unless you want to carry 2 paddles
they are all a compromise...
I am a small guy, so somedays I feel it in the shoulders after 9-10 hours
but if you can... do like Dave said and buy the one from the benefit tourney
p.s.
a friend of mine recently busted his onno paddle where the blade attaches to the shaft...and he was just paddling hard
