Dave stick with the lighter one. It will take a while for your muscle memory to change. Huge difference in performance once you get used to it. I went from a super heavy cobra paddle to an Onno that only weighs 20oz. Took a while to feel right but I would never go back.

Did you buy your paddle from Patrick when he was in San Diego or Hawaii? How long did it take to get your paddle?

I had an Onno paddle and it was nice but had the wider fins. A narrower one would be perfect for me.

I now have a Werner Camano and it is very nice but not as light as the Onno.
