Picked up the new Hippo Stick triple G today and paddled it for about a hour and a half. My first impression was how light it was 100% 12k carbon. On entry it felt like a hot knife going through butter no flutter at all, its so smooth at the catch and feels like its got a lot of power when you need it. Should be easy on the shoulders. I think this paddle will be very forgiving on long paddles but still pack a punch when you need it to (sprints) anyhow more testing to come. Blade size is 7.1 inches wide which makes up the 87sq in so far for 420.00 its great, great, great.....se what I did there;)
