I really did feel like I was exploring Middle Earth last night as I sat and watched wisps of smoke leave the chimney of a remote cabin. It was magical. This was also my first session with the new @prijongmbh Stream paddle and wow. This is unquestionably the most powerful paddle I’ve ever owned. The water displacement is insane and I actually had to be careful in my excitement not to burn out my shoulders. The beauty of such an efficient design is you don’t need to work hard to travel fast, it’s effortless. Once I’d reigned in my ‘ how fast can I go ‘ mentality I really enjoyed slow/gentle strokes through the water, focusing on good form and was able to maintain a much higher average speed than usual ( with little energy ). The blade design also provides excellent stability on edge/leaning and I’m excited to roll using it ( the bright decals will make this a pleasure to see in dark/murky water ). I also really liked how quiet this paddle is, water runs along the blade instead of dripping like crazy and this is ideal of approaching wildlife ( something I’d usually only enjoyed with Greenland style blades ). The Stream is a great paddle and an exciting addition to the incredible new range of kayaks/equipment that Prijon have been working hard on. #prijon https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gMCfggHdt/?igshid=6jgtcc4gpscm
