Superior Kayak's graphite paddle is shaped like their wooden ones. The shaft is thick only because that it is supposed to be that way for the type of paddling the paddle is intended to be used for. I've tested it. It feels exactly like my wooden inuit paddle except that it is so light I had to remember to put it into the water - it didn't just "fall" in by its own weight because it has almost no weight. If I wasn't so cheap, I would own one. I like the thickness of the shaft.
