Seagull? like the seagull boat that was used for competition? if so its local brand man.... i wont trust...carbon paddles also got 2 kinds carbon fibre and carbon kevlar.... lots of differences.... also got some china brand carbon sold by new urban male.... damn cannot make it.

Seems like trivium is the best so far..but quite ex. any 2nd handed trivium for sale?

I feel that is it better trusting a familiar name such as burnwater or trivium compare to seagull. Seagull stuffs like boat and livejack are heavy and bulky. I wouldn't expect much for a paddle too.

For people who is interested in getting trivium for your team or yourself, you can send me an message.

Hi all;

Just to update. The "Seagull' paddle turns out to be "Apex - Durablade". It had the "Seagull-Kim Tuck Huat Boat Builder" sticker on it. Perhaps its the local distributor.
Sorry for the confusion.

Any comment on the paddle? Thanks

the durablade is not even carbon paddle as it purports and is as heavy as a normal wooden paddle. Its just a wooden blade wrapped with some plastic covering with cheap looking pseudo carbon prints. Its cheap and you can abuse it all you want and it probably wont get damaged.... Its simply a packaged wooden paddle.

APEX produces real carbon paddle (ultimate and accelerator) as well but they are much more expensive of course.
It is all just in the mind.
