My brother will be joining me for his first packrafting trip, I have a loaner raft, now I need a loaner paddle. I was thinking of getting an Aquabound 4-pc aluminium paddle. That is about $100. Are there any cheaper paddles that would be strong enough for limited whitewater (doing the South Fork of the Flathead) and not too heavy? He won’t paddle with me very often but I don’t want to give him a trashy paddle that will break either.
Anybody want to sell a cheap 4 piece paddle?
