The Harmony Sea Passage 2-Piece Aluminum Paddle barely makes a dent in your wallet and won't leave you with pro-football-sized shoulders after a few weeks of playing in your kayak. Asymmetrical blades bite the water at first contact, be it a high- or low-angled entry. Regardless of your technique and regardless of whether you're on still water or effervescent creeks, this rugged paddle keeps you in control and heading in the right direction. The straight aluminum shaft won't falter at being flung in frustration by new paddlers, and won't leave seasoned river rats sore after a full day on the river. The blended blades, combining polypropylene and fiberglass, withstand a beating if you're skimming over rock gardens or paddling a wee bit too close to the shore. Mid-sized asymmetrical blades let paddlers of every ilk--big, small, young, old--move their boats through the water without wasted energy. The tip bites the water, then leads the body of the blade into the water and provides a line back into the air. Blade dihedral makes exiting (the water) graceful and flutterless for a smooth stroke from start to finish.
