Which $100ish Paddle to Purchase
I'm on a budget and need suggestions on which paddle to purchase. I'm new to this and don't have the intentions of spending $400 on a paddle. I've tried looking at used paddles and struck out. Now i'm looking at purchasing a new paddle. I'm thinking of a Bending Branches Angler Classic. Does anyone have opinions on the Seattle Sports Sea-Whisper Carbon Paddle? It's $50 cheaper than the BB Angler Classic. Thanks for your opinions.

Spend just about $80-100 more and get a Werner camano. It will last you a lifetime. Best paddle out there for overall paddling

Well, after spending countless hours researching (till 1 am last night), I think I'm heading over to OEX in Mission Bay to purchase an Aquabound Manta Ray (Due to my sit on top larger kayak). Their prices are the same as other online vendors. I'd also rather let my money remain in SD. Thanks tacmik and ctfphoto for the recommendations. Unfortunately Aznronin, Werner is still out of my price range. I'm going to spend the price difference on a PFD. I hope I don't regret it.
