@@kimleith1378 glad I could help! That would’ve been a nice touch for sure! I like when brands get creative with the paddle covers. (Even though I don’t use them anymore)
@ I would use them, but I switched to a KTCHN bag a few months ago which has built in paddle sleeves. So now all my my covers just hangout in my closet
@@alexpazmino4762 It does! It’s quite a powerful paddle and would definitely be considered a power paddle if stuff like the Gearbox PPE and Joola Mod didn’t exist However significantly less pop than something like the Power Air
@@123BV8 I watched it earlier, and I just watched it again to double check myself before responding. He mentioned that he has not experienced any crunching or changes in play but that there were "signs" of core crushing, but then clarified that it's a sign of a compressed core which is normal even in perfectly healthy paddles. I can't speak for him, but I believe his intention was to show the slight compression and warn that it "could" be a sign of core crushing in the future. He even says "they basically look flawless" and "they look better than most paddles you see on the market" I think the wording and the fact that he even mentioned it at all leads people to believe that there are issues with the core, when in reality they are perfectly fine and likely will not experience any long term damage or core crushing.
Great review. Answered all my questions. Wish the Samurai logo was on the cover.

@@scooterreviewsstuff All my paddles travel in a case/cover. Just my preference.

Orders open today at 12:00 EST. I’m pumped!
@@MattyRut2922 you picking one up?
It’s a great paddle and I think people are going to love it!
Does the saga have more power than a Selkirk power air or a hudef viva pro gen 2 paddle?
