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.

I'm in love with the Prism Flash, especially at the $100 price point. Wow. Probably the best raw carbon fiber paddle & best overall paddle you can get for $100. This is the paddle I recommend to all my friends getting started.
