Wanting to but a paddle. Thinking this one but.... Looking for opinions

I love mine.

+1!!

For me the double bend of the Viper paddle seems easier on the joints than a regular bent. It is my go to paddle for trips on Ozark rivers. My regular bent paddles are a BB and a Whiskey Jack. The WJ goes on my BWCA trips as it is a little lighter and is a better length for my tandem canoe.

I picked one up last year. I found it’s extra curves to a bit of a pain in the stern. Let my wife use it in the bow......
I won’t be getting it back. She loves it. Debating over which carbon model to choose now.

I bit the bullet and bought a Viper and a Bent Java yesterday. Hope it’s worth it.
