Maybe… but FUNCTIONAL. You’re not going for sexy anyway right? The Kevlar/ Carbon blade looks like a 70′s sport coat. The carbon shaft has a rough look and feel. Why would we make something so UGLY?
Kevlar creates a stiff impact resistant blade the will hold up to a life of abuse. And ….Why would anyone make a slick polished shaft? Paddles get wet…. Right? Doesn’t a shaft with texture make more sense? What are your thoughts?
PADDLE ARRIVED FROM AMAZON 01/16/13 SHIPPED IN PLASTIC ,NO DAMAGE ! ORIGINAL CLEAR BAG WITH PADDLE I.D [ SALTY ] AND ANOTHER BAG TAPED AROUND THAT ! I WAS AMAZED THAT NOTHING HAPPENED TO IT, XLNT CONSTRUCTION !
Welp,
That’s not the way Amazon is supposed to ship. It should be wrapped in cardboard. So glad there was no damage though. Enjoy your paddle.
