I definitly liked the straight shaft alot better. I'm glad I got the
Aqua-bound Eagle Ray. Very light and I could still get very good power
out of it. Glad I didn't skimp on a cheap paddle.

One of my local shops rents out demo paddles so I tried a Werner Cameno
with the bent saft. 220cm. Nice paddle but on the short side for me.
Ended up getting a Aqua-bound Eagle Ray full carbon. Trying it out
today.

That looks like a nice paddle. The blades looks very much like a Camano.
What did you think of the bent shaft. I just ordered a Werner Cyprus
(carbon fiber, foam core medium sized high angle blade) with a straight
shaft from our local shop (owned by a very good friend of mine). Ever since
Werner came out with their natural bent shaft a couple of years ago that's
about all he stocks in the carbon fiber paddles. I've paddled with most of
the different models with a bent shaft and just don't care for them much.
