Hey!

I have a Warp 10 bentshaft paddle from TyWarp.

They are pretty cheap and really good to paddle with. By good I mean how the blade grip in the water and how it glides easily. The bentshaft gives a good grip for your hands, so you always know how your angle on the blades are. Even with thick gloves on.
But I'm not satisfied with the quality of them. They are produced in two halves that are glued together, and I got water on the inside of the paddle through where they are glued together. This happened after about 50 trips on the water, and it also happened to a friend of mine. So I pulled the pieces of my paddle apart, dried the paddle on the inside and glued it together myself. Now it's fine.

Another thing is the normal wear and tear on the end of the paddle blade. The blade is shortened by 1 cm on each side, since I bought the paddle. But nothing has cracked off or delaminated. It's just worn away.

If you want a cheap paddle thats just gonna last for a year or two - Ty Warp is a perfect choice :)
