paddle recommendation??

[jbdba01]

Looked around the forums and tried searching - seems the word "paddle" is everywhere (makes sense).

I googled it and found generic recommendations. I figure this would be the place to get the authoritative answer.

Here's the deal:

- I'll probably use it for a canoe as well as a kayak (kayak to be purchased in 2011 or so)
- I'm 6'2" (I saw something about height making a diff)
- No need for whitewater (I'm in FL!!)
- budget - hmmm...not sure, but <= $100 seems about right
- open to buying used/ebay/here
- don't think I need speed as much as endurance (so light but right)
- I'm in decent enough shape and don't mind the exercise of a somewhat heavier paddle

Any thoughts/recommendations?

I use this one. For the price, it is pretty nice.

x2. I have the same paddle as Chris. Can't go wrong for the money.
