I can't tell you the model, but it's by Aqua Bound. Oh wait, here on the <a href="http://www.aquabound.com/" rel="nofollow">Aqua Bound</a> web site, it's the Stingray, the all carbon model of which weighs 29 ounces. Mine is last year's Seaquel, which weights 40 ounces. Doesn't sound like much of a difference, does it? My friend isn't as tall as me, and I'm 6'2". Probably around 5'10" or so.

My brother and I are looking for new paddles that allow offset blades, etc.. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can fork out quite that much money.. Perhaps as much as $175.. By the way -- how tall is your friend? Just curious as I'm 6' 2" and that rules out a bunch of boats right there.. What kind of paddle was that which cost $290?
