Paddle upgrade questions??

[HobieScot]

Ok so I still have my old Hobie paddle that came with my Hank Parker Edition outback. I'm not even sure what year it is but it's pretty old.

I keep seeing people say that the Hobie paddle sucks so I was curious about an upgrade.

The only time I use the paddle is to back up or maneuver in a tight area like a boat dock or similar place.

I have been lucky to not have my mirage drive break on me yet so I really have never had a reason to paddle for any distance.

So I wouldn't know the difference from a good paddle vs bad one. What makes the Hobie paddle a less than ideal paddle? And conversely what makes another brand paddle a good one?

What difference would I notice when I upgrade to a new paddle?
