G'Day Gordin,

I wouldn't say they were all that popular in NSW Australia - most people I
see are using home made ones, or buy Ski or Galasport. Both good paddles:
the Ski is a cheap and cheerful fibreglass, the Galasport (made in S.America
I think) is a relatively cheap carbon paddle and superbly light and strong.

Sorry haven't seen Diago paddles over here though their web page says
handcrafted in Australia. Seems like a lot of money for a fibreglass paddle.
Though heaven knows our balance of payments could do with some help!

All the best, PeterO (Sydney, Australia)
