Don't get the Ainsworths, they weigh more than the moon and Schlegal designs are stuck in the 80's.

Would you rate the Werner Rio better than the Carlisle carbon one at ?100 then ??

Hell yeah. IMHO Werner are best paddles on the market currently. The RIO is their basic paddle but still made to their standards. They have a good reputation and want to keep it.

My daughter has no paddle sponsor because she wants to use Werners, full stop. so she has turned down other manufacturers, she rates them that highly. good enough for her is good enough for me. My lad paddles with Robson because his boat sponsor imports them, so gets them on a deal. He has broken 3 this year.... he is a bit extreme though.
