Good introductory whitewater paddle | |
| Rating: |  |
| This was my first whitewater paddle. I've since moved on to a more expensive one (different brand, as well), but I still have my Aquabound. Very happy with it. If this is your first time buying a whitewater paddle, this is a fine choice. The plastic-injected blades are heavier than fiberglass or carbon, but the weight isn't excessive and they do not send irritating vibrations up the whole length of the paddle every time you accidentally hit a rock. | |
