All in all it’s a great paddle. It’s lightweight and its innovations to prevent twisting make it feel more like a one-piece. If you’re deciding whether to get the large, I would say go for it, the difference in size isn’t all that noticeable. The only downside for me is that water can enter the blade section. There is a visible seal inside the blade section, but water can get past it. I’m not sure if this is intentional.

Super light and strong
Great paddle just like everything that Honu makes and sells. Five stars for customer support if you should need it, instead of getting artificial intelligence on the phone, you actually get a real person on the phone that is super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Thanks Honu

Great Paddle!
Awesome high quality paddle. all of the pieces fit nice and night together and there is very little movement. Paddle fits perfect in the hand and is very comfortable to use. I couldn't decide on the standard or the large blade paddle but I am glad that I went with the Large, it is a perfect match with my Sorrento Board.
Thanks Honu!
