Hello,
I'd like to get thoughts on a couple of paddles. I have been using a Harmont
Sea Quest glass paddle for a number of years and now am looking at a couple
of new ones, namely the Infusion by Bending Branches and the Sea Clude &
Expedition by Aqua Bound all glass. Any thoughts on any of these? I just do
simple fla****er lake paddles, but quite a lot of it, I want a good paddle ,
but at a modest price.
Thanks for any help.

My first paddle was an AMT Expedition. It's a bit heavy (as are all the
one's you're looking at), but it's a very smooth feeling, forgiving
paddle and is quite durable. Overall, I think it's a good design. If you
can find a good price on the carbon fiber version (black blades), it's a
bit lighter.
