I personally have broken
2 ONNOs and have given up after
many tries to get my last carbon paddle fixed. I can no longer recommend them to anyone. I have been using for the last 8 month and I am
very happy with the new redesigned Accent full Carbon fiber paddle, it is a bit heavier than the ONNO, but it is built nearly proof with extra layers of carbon fiber in the spots that see the most stress. My paddle flew out of my truck last weekend while turning a corner and I literally can't even find a scratch on it. They are also made in various fiberglass combinations that are a bit heavier, but also cheaper. The full carbon fiber sells for $280 at the
San Diego Sailing Center.
