Ordered the paddles!

We ordered two paddles from REI as they were on a sale. The only ones they had left were the 240 cm but if they are too big for us or Debbie we can return them and get another size when they have more in stock and keep the sale price.

 We decide to pick them up at the sore for convenience.

  We got two AquaBound Sting Ray Hybrid 4-Piece Kayak Paddle 2011

They have a carbon shat and fiberglass blades.

Weight is (220 cm) 33 ounces

Combination of carbon shaft and fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio; slight shaft flex gives paddling comfort

Smooth, flutter-free bite and pull with an asymmetrical dihedral blade face optimized for the low-angle paddling style

Turn Lock Coupler (TLC) ferrule system makes adjusting your paddle easy; simply set the feather angle and rotate the coupler to tighten

Feathering is adjustable in the following increments: 0/30/45/60 degrees (right or left)

Comes with rubber drip rings to keep water away from hands and lap
