“Delighted with this paddle. Feels almost weightless in the hands and results in a very obvious reduction in arm and shoulder fatigue and soreness on long paddle days.”
“My full carbon wing paddle just arrived from Bay Sports. OMG! It’s a thing of beauty. Will write a proper review after first use, but I can already tell it’ll make long paddling days much easier. Feels feather light.”
“I needed a light weight impact paddle for over night canoe trips. Just did Shoalhaven Gorge with this paddle and found the trip easy. Super light and packs in the car with ease. Also a big fan for the reflective baysports logo, great for night fishing or early morning paddles”
“My husband and I bought carbon fibre paddles specifically for a long trip we were planning. We used them very sporadically over the 15 months prior to our big trip and we were very happy with them. They were comfortable to use, efficient and lightweight. We could really feel the difference in performance between them and our standard aluminium paddles. Unfortunately, once we began paddling the Murray River, both paddles quickly cracked where the two halves connect, and subsequently broke. We contacted Baysports even though the paddles were out of the 12 month warranty period, as I believed our issue came from a specific manufacturing flaw. After a lengthy process of communication back and forth, Baysports did a wonderful job of resolving our problem and providing us with a newer improved product. The service, communication and problem resolution from Baysports staff was exemplary (especially Kristine) and I feel that they do the best they can for their customers. I look forward to giving our new paddles a workout in the future, and will add an update then.”
“This paddle at first appearance seems great-comfortable, efficient and lightweight. My disgust with it arises from its one weak point which is the lock where the two halves connect. Both my husband and I have these paddles, and used them sporadically (maybe 10-12 times for up to 3 hours at a time) with no issues for 15 months. And then we set out on a longer journey and both paddles rather quickly cracked along this join and subsequently broke. When contacting Baysports, we were told that it was out of the 12 month warranty period and they washed their hands of the whole problem. For the price and supposed quality of the paddle, I could never recommend this paddle. Look elsewhere for something different.”
