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.

The Mach 1 FORZA is at a good price point for a thermoformed paddle. If you prefer elongated, they've got the Mach 2 FORZA. These feel like similar paddles to the Six Zero DBD. Both great paddles & at similar price points.
