Great Paddle, light weight and fast
- CBChester B.Rated 5 out of 5 stars8 years agoWOW!!!!
I've been a Werner fan for years. I always had a Werner Camano but was interested in all this hype of the light weight Kalliste paddle that Werner engineered and decided to give myself a treat and get one. WOW!!!!!!!! It's so light and soooooooo smooth. I never thought that I could enjoy this sport even more than I did. It makes me go that much longer on my paddle days on the water. Well worth the extra money!
