Really only 1 answer to your question,

QuickBlade

XX angie

Ke Nalu. Quickblade is soooo 2011

+1 for Quickblade, great paddle very well made.

Thanks for some feedback folks.
Bit bummed today as only been supping around 18 months, had not broken a paddle until yesterday. The Kialoa was slowly cracking and yesterday gave in but my C4 back up snapped clean without warning today not so happy now.
Bit poorer tomorrow!

As a race paddle does anyone have any feedback on the C4 X-Wing Pro??? Obviously they must be alright or TG would not be using them and endorsing them but they standout as being different to the common design.

Without having used one I like the concept of the straight edge on the paddle, it is a slightly similar idea to what you would find on a kayak or surf ski paddle (excluding the scoop). Obviously the common tear-drop shape is tried and tested as well and I expect it draws on a lot of the R&D for canoeing and outrigger paddling that would have been done over the years.

Cheers

They were asking $800 for this one on Trade Me....maybe i should just stick with a solid fibreglass shaft & whatever blade I can find that will fit it
