I came across a Diago paddle on E bay while wasting away an evening last week. Does anyone out there have any experience with these paddles? Maybe someone from Australia could comment as the paddles are from Oz.

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!

Hi Gordin I have tried an all glass version with a standard touring blade shape. It was a fairly comfortable paddle, small in blade area and relatively flexible around the blade edges. It felt less "grippy" than our bigger shaped Skee blade, I would suggest the grip factor would be similar to the Lendal Archipelago.
