Any suggestions on kayak paddles?
I want to get a good one eventually, but right now I have a supposedly ok one by solstice. Can you please name the paddle and the price. I'm trying not to spend anywhere over $150 on a paddle.

If you are looking for a good solid paddle for flatwater touring, the Werner Skagit is a model that is often sold with quality kayaks in starter packages and is the paddle you will most often find for rent at kayak outfitters. At $130 it's a reasonably priced durable and fairly lightweight option with a mid-sized blade. I have 2 of them myself, one that came with my first kayak and another that was included with a used boat I bought. It is WAY better than your Solstice.

Another similar paddle in the same price range would be the Carlisle Exkursion:

Either one would be a noticeable improvement over the heavy stiff aluminum paddle you have now.
