I have a Swift that I am pleased with. It has a Kevlar blade and carbon
shaft.
I also own a couple of Harmony Sea Passsage carbon paddles, They are
fine, sturdy and well covered by warranty. I had a shaft break on one.
The Harmony Sea Passage with the plastic blades have not fared as well.
I broke one in the pool and another in a sand landing but the
temperature may have had something to do with that. It was cold.
Lendal and Werner make some superb paddles. A lot of it is taste.
Good Luck.
