If anybody is in the market for a new paddles,take a look at sandborn.I bought three of their minnesota model paddles for myself,my wife,and a friend of mine and they are outstanding.Very lightweight,great balance,and beautiful.The craftsmanship is outstanding.

Thanks for pointing these out. I'm contemplating replacing my wood straight with a 7 degree bend and their paddles and the ability to customize them look great.

I have one ottertail from them and it is beautiful!
