Pelican Symbiosa Kayak Paddle

I had no idea what I was missing until I went out with this paddle. I'm 6'4" and prior to this I was using the 89" Poseidon paddle which was fine and all but I always felt like my stroke was awkward compared to all my short(er) friends. This paddle changed everything. I even ended up extending it further than I'd expected to. Also, and I don't know how cuz the difference of weight between these 2 paddles is next to 0, this longer paddle actually feels lighter. It's definitely the material because my eyes can easily see how much bigger this paddle is but it feels like it moves with half the weight. My only real complaint is the color. It is in fact "more blue" than the blue-ish gray it appears in the product photo, but not very much. The Poseidon paddle is a truly beautiful blue pattern that matches my kayaks perfectly. This looks ok, and the performance more than makes up for the deficiency in color, but come on Pelican: this paddle needs another, blue-er color option 😆 I'd buy that immediately!
