Much appreciated,

A friend of mine broke his seven2 running a big drop, stuck the broken shaft through his hand on impact, and was almost recirculated to death in a hole below as a result of the accident. Not that I think its a bad paddle or anything.... ------------- JHB |

Don't buy paddles made in China.

| they're pretty awful as a creek paddle. My friend loves it for playboating but says he would never take it anywhere but a park and play. Creeking is definatly out. Inferior materials, stick to a werner or AT. |

My young lady had one at first. I thought it horrible... She loved it. Then it decided that it wanted to try to fly...out of the back of my truck. She got a new AT. She likes it a lot better. Point.... Those flimsy, not car proof, flighty paddles have some personality issues. ------------- "We are only boaters between swims" Matty |

The flex in the paddle is good if you like spankings, on the river that is.
