Grades of paddles go from aluminum with plastic blades riveted on, to fiber glass, and then carbon fiber. Low Price paddles are heavier, pricy ones are lighter. There's also a "feel" component between paddle quality that's hard to explain. How much are you planning to paddle your out back? If its just for a few minutes of surf launches and going threw kelp the paddle you have should fine. Ive paddled an outback and it didn't paddle well IMO. I have a paddle yak and a CF paddle. After hours on the water I can tell the difference over a heavier paddle. I hope that helped. Mike
