What Users Are Saying
The shaft is slightly thicker than usual, so I could grip it loosely. This improved comfort, and I imagine it would noticeably reduce wear and tear on arms and hands during long paddles. Think of it as a great excuse to spend more time on the open water. Casual paddlers will certainly appreciate it.
- Ben FoxGreat paddle! I have been using Greenland paddles for 13 years and started withe a custom laminated cedar one piece. But because I also travel using folding kayaks I needed a break down paddle so I could pack for airline travel, which is not practical with a one piece 84" paddle! I ordered an Akiak several years agp when they first came out with the model because it has the same design as my beloved wood GP, shoulderless with curved tips. As it turned out, the Akiak has the same overall and swing weight the wood paddle and performs just as well on the water. The replaceable tips are a plus (they send you a set with the paddle). Very pleased with this paddle and would recommend it to anyone in search of a two piece GP.
