        Comments about Bending Branches Sun Shadow ST Paddle:

        I splurged and it has been well worth it. This paddle is amazingly light and strong. I just got back from 3 days on the Upper Delaware and it performed beautifully on the Is and IIs the river has to offer. I like the stern and this paddle could turn wonderfully... and my brother got plenty of power from it when he used it in the bow. This paddle is also a fine piece of craftsmanship that looks beautiful while waiting for "next time".

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
