I have not upgraded my paddle quite yet because I enjoy the workout of the heavier one. But now that some of you say it's your favorite accessory, maybe the lighter paddle will give me a farther range and keep me out there longer. Thoughts?

YES, a nice high quality, light weight paddle makes a ton of difference. If you choose to paddle instead of peddling, then spend the cash on a nice paddle. I personally have a Aquabound Surge that is awesome. But all the other major brands have paddles that are just as good. Take the plunge.

I have some nice Bending Branches for sale in the buy/sale section. They are light and fast. Still a good workout despite being light. Remember it's always better to lift light with reps as opposed to heavy.

High quality LIGHT carbon fiber paddles are great, even for us peddle guys, never know where or when a drive wil fail. I make it a point to paddle some on every trip. The older we get the less we seem to work out, the paddle/peddle helps. Tight Lines.

But $499 plus tax?

Nope, got one for $40 and the other one was free. It came with a kayak I bought and then resold.

Quality ain't cheap.
"You get what you pay for" definitely applies here.
