Suggestions about WW paddle I bought

[Karla]

I purchased new and have used this paddle only 4 times now and realize it is too heavy for me and the blades are large I was told for what I am to do with paddling my WW boat. Told more for playboating which I am not.
It is a Werner powerhouse. I am bit disappointed I got the wrong one for me and need to either trade it for like a lighter weight Werner, like a Sherpa or sell the powerhouse, but can't afford to sell it for much less than I purchased it for.

Any thoughts from anyone. Also, it is a larger shaft that fits my size hands that I thought I needed and wonder if that is what is making it heavier.

I'm not sure the weight will make much difference, they are pretty much the same weight (34oz for the Powerhouse compared to 33oz for the Sherpa-at least according to the Werner website). The blades are pretty big, but the fiberglass blades get smaller as you use them, so they'll be Sherpa size after a while.

Life is too short to paddle with an ill-fitting paddle. Sell it, take your loss, and get one that fits... Consider it a $100 investment in your happiness. (assuming you can get within $100 on the sale/purchase). You might think of getting a small shaft paddle, too. The smaller shaft size is more important to my comfort than paddle weight... really... It makes a BIG difference, as does a 33 degree off-set instead of a 45 degree... at least to me.
