Paddle Question..........
I'm using it mostly lake recently trying to get used to it I'm gonna go Ocean this summer though But every time I use it I feel the stock paddle(power paddle ?) is really suck ! Any recommendation for good paddle for my kayak ? My budget is 100-200$ I'm 5'9 165 lb not a big but I'm pretty healthy (like leafing weight) Thanks And Happy new year ! |

Those paddles do suck, but honestly the first thing I would do, at your size, is look for a different kayak. In my opinion way to big for a guy your size.
If you do stick with this boat you want to make sure you have a paddle of sufficient length. You will want a minimum of a 230cm.

I have Werner Tybees for $135 and AT paddles for $135 and $175 that are much better than your current paddle.
