Love the Loco 1 using it for demo from my friend. Easy to swing not too heavy. Not gritty, just using t700 carbon but overall performance was great. That's why they pick this one the 2025 paddle of the year. Hybrid shape for this was not my type.

It was too powerful since it’s my first paddle but eventually got used to it after 2-3 days.
