i paddle the w1 sport and the w1 ultra both bent shaft

the bent shaft feel great, the paddle are light, the shaft is stiff, so you don't need large blade. the construction of the blade in the w1 is fiber prepeg, it's a tough paddle light and stiff a very good paddle better thent wath i paddle in the past (galasport brute, mitchell bent shaft with robson blades, bent shaft mitchel with galasport blades, riot paddle with the flexy nylon blade really tough paddle that last me a long time, werner paddle)

I've hit it hard of rocks more than once where I've thought there will be at least a chip missing here, but when I check it there is not a thing wrong with it. Its cheep too compared to a similar paddle from a different manufacturer.
