Guys, I have used my Diamond Head scoop for about a week now and I love it! It is not heavy at all (well, for me it isn't heavy) I have no problems wrenching hard on the handle, no problems with heavy shell areas and water filters out rather quickly.
I do not use this scoop in the dry sand, I have a different scoop for that but I like how the waves do not bounce the scoop off of my leg when I am in waist to chest deep water in the ocean.
You'll also love the foot pad when digging deep with it.
