It's worth considering if you prefer a controlled, versatile paddle for regular river use rather than prioritising the more aggressive blade-to-shaft offset of the Surge and Strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFibreglass construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibreglass blades offer a practical combination of stiffness, durability and manageable swing weight.
