The Boreal paddle also looks nice. The weight is even lower than the Current Designs crankshaft paddle. Mostly due to lighter weight blades. I was playing one of the Boreals' yesterday. My friend runs an outdoors store, and had one there to play with. Says he's sold three to one guy. Only drawback is the price, about $475CDN. Ouch.
