So, I've been looking at paddles for almost a year now - got very close to buying a Black Project Hydro last year but had a couple of financial things I had to deal with so it went onto the backburner (cars!)! I put a couple of posts up about the 'list' that I had and got some great advice.

Anyway, back to being pretty serious about a purchase again and am really splitting between the 2019 Starboard Lima 82, the Hydro 83 or the Trifecta 86. I've done my due diligence on the Hydro, but the Lima looks pretty good, particularly for the money. I saw Jimmy Lewis Boards posted how good they are recently. But also the Trifecta - are they as good as their popularity amongst 'pros' suggests they are? I've been looking at a Vector Net in the 86.

Thoughts on these 3 specific paddles would be awesome.
