The Carlisle Simply Magic paddles are an excellent medium priced paddle. The Fiberglass model won't have the tendency of aluminum to oxidize or corrode over time.

    The Magic Aluminum is one of the better aluminum paddles available and with care will last a long time.

   Both have a medium sized assymtrical blade for good performance and a smaller shaft that will be comfortable for those with smaller hands and will suit most people.     

    Before I became a gazillionaire I used the magic to paddle from Kona to Kona (the long way) as in all the way around the Big Island during a 16 day, 300mile expedition.

     I highly recommend both models for their price/performance value...
