Nick Troutman on the Freeride Custom!
I have been paddling my Freeride Custom bent shaft Lightning paddle for two years know. I use it for everything, from racing, to freestyle comps, and running waterfalls. It has held up for me, paddling up to 300+ days in a year. With a sharp bent shaft the paddle is easy to grip and your hand position will never rotate on you when you least expect it. The blade shape is powerful for when you need that recovery stroke, or some quick speed. The foam impregnated layup makes this paddle light and easy for anyone to use. But why listen to me talk about it, try one out for yourself.
