Great backup paddle

6 years ago

This Loon is not the cheap paddle most start out with. Nobody other than a racer needs better. Don't start out with less! That said, this is the entry point. I have done 4000 miles with worse, just as heavy and less efficient with a smile on my face and a song in my spirit. You will be happier with a lighter paddle. I have my Loon in my larger fishing boat. It is longer than what I use in my canoes. Freeboard is way taller. Highly recommended. Cannot just leave in sun and weather--it's laminated wood. Had mine for over 20 years bouncing around and still looks like brand new.

didn't last the summer

I was really happy with the weight and design of this paddle. It worked well on lakes and rivers. However, the paddle cracked within the first couple of uses, so I sent it back.
