This is one of our most popular entry paddles. You get the amazing design and quality construction you always get with Bending Branches, with a great entry level price.
You also get some really nice features, including (1) drip rings, (2), two piece breakdown for easy transport and storage, (3) ability to feather L and R from 0 to 60 degrees, and ... its made in the US.
We've offered other entry paddles at OMTC, but we always seemed to have issues with them holding up to normal rec use on our rocky rivers here in the Ozarks. But we just don't have those issues with the Whisper. It really holds up.
This paddle is also a favorite with rental outfitters, which is a pretty strong testament to their durability. Remember - you can abuse and damage almost any paddle. Take care of your paddle, and it will hold up.
