Hi G.H.,
Just a quick heads up, the
Corryvrecken paddle rocks
. Just remember it's a big paddle face. Also meaning that it takes a bit of strength to keep moving. Not so bad for a half day fishing in La jolla , and awesome for punching through surf at the launch...but I hear that most of the guy's like a lower impact touring paddle.
When you start covering a lot more ground you might wish you didn't have a paddle with so much "Bite". The advise I'm giving to you is the same that I received when looking for a paddle. That being said... I love my Werner Corryvrecken. I would recommend stopping by Aqua-Adventures and talking to Jennifer Kleck, she is a top female paddler in the US. and definitely know her s#!t.
