Decent, not great paddle

By Ranked #99 - Paddles November 9, 2008

I've had the Vapor for a year or so, and I would call it a good not great paddle. The highlights are a small diameter shaft, which is good for smaller hands. My kids love using it. Also the price is pretty good for a fairly light paddle. The downsides to me are the fixed grip positions -- it's designed that your hands are on the grips, which means that on longer paddles it's harder to comfortably vary your hand positions. This may or may not be important to how you paddle. Maybe it's because I'm coming from using Werner carbon paddles, but the Vapor lacked the solid feel of a really nice paddle. Nowadays it's my spare, or as I mention, for the kids to use.
