I'm new on this site, but have paddled 1000's of miles up here in Nor Cal.

We are now blessed with the presence of RacinRob huh? Good to see you down here Rob.

The Cheaper "Carbon" paddles definitely are nicer than aluminum however fall FAR short of a true carbon paddle which will retail in the 300+ range. As Rob said a great balance is something that is a hybrid like the Werner Shuna or AT Oracle Glass will be much better paddles.

With that said however at the 200.00 mark is the Aquabound Manta Ray Fiberglass. Very popular paddles that a lot of people are very happy with. But for 50.00 more the quality comes WAY up and your GF will very much notice the difference knowing her paddling background. Not to mention she gets a discount through the outrigger club with us.

Thanks CJ, the one you just posted looks really nice as well. I think she will use the tybee for a while then probably want to upgrade to full carbon.

Which is the last thing I want, because she's already gonna be faster than me as it is!!
