Outstanding paddle; yes, pricey indeed,
"Outstanding paddle; yes, pricey indeed, but worth every single penny as it's lightweight, glides smoothly into the water, is buoyant and thus makes all the difference in my paddling experience. I chose this specific paddle due to it's light weight as I have shoulder problems, which is circumvented when paddling, finally, with this paddle. Just bought myself a second Cyprus, a two piece, so that I don't wear out my 4 piece, which I will now use only for travels (easily fits in hand luggage). Cheers to Werner for this perfect paddle."
