for playboating, I would say something along the lines of a Werner Player/Twist would be good, but they are fairly expensive. I have a Desperado for river running, and I love it. The Ty Warp looks good, but I have no clue about the durability. the PTK looks like a good river running paddle, and it's only $55 USD. www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=1664&deptid=1686 . Here's the AT AT4 play: www.atpaddle.com/WhitewaterProducts/AT4Play.html .

The rio and desperado are designed for river running/creeking, but a shorter paddle would probably have the same effect. Try using the Werner Paddle sizing chart: www.wernerpaddles.com/fit_guide/ .
