Aloha from Maui,
There is a new double bend all graphite blade out there that has generated a bit of interest here on Maui. It is carried by a local paddling shop. Has anybody used this new blade? What brand is it? If it has been used what is the feedback?
Thanks for your time

Haven't paddled with it...but I think this is what you're asking about: http://kialoa.com/store/prodView.asp?idproduct=82

never used one but talking to people who have...i guess you lose like 4 inches of reach or something and that doesn't seem like a good thing...also...it may be more comfortable for your wrist at the catch but at the exit of your stroke i've heard that it is really uncomfortable for your stroke...
just what i've heard from some pretty trusted paddlers...try it for yourself...
