A paddle awaited by the ladies, which is similar in lay up to our Lotus but with a smaller blade and shaft size for sophisticated paddling with less energy to pull through the water. Also available in a lightweight carbon version.

After a long time with a hard and heavy paddle, the Robson Lady Lotus comes as a real relief. I got mine about two years ago and I am very, very happy with it. The smaller blades and the thin shaft make for stressless paddling; no burning forearms or aching shoulders after two hours on the water.

If you have "above average" hands (my glove size is 8), the shaft is even on the brink of "gee, this is REALLY thin", but as I am a tad above average (1,75m / 5'9") most women will perfectly love it that way. It's a quality product, everything looks and feels solid, and it might well live for decades. Plus it looks gorgeous!

About Me
this review was written by my WIFE, mid 40s and "advanced beginner" in WW II, paddling mostly during summer holidays
Pros / The Good

• "easy" on hands and arms
• precise handling in the water
• "shock absorbing" shaft
Cons / The Bad
- shaft a tad too slim/small in diameter for women with "normal" hands
• hefty price (you pay for the quality)
