While priced higher than other brands like VaticPro & SixZero, I think Selkirk does more to help grow the sport than most other brands. When purchasing from Selkirk Labs, you're investing in the R&D of paddle technology. If money is of no issue, the 006 is a great paddle.

Combining Will's playing expertise and Brian's industry experience, they created their high-performance flagship paddle, the Spade.
