A friend of mine who drives a
truck for a kayak manufacturing company ran across these paddles
stored in a warehouse somewhere and got a good deal on them. I
run a kayak touring company Savage Rez Kayak Tours (campearth.org)
and operate Windrushonline so I'm helping him find good homes
for these paddles. These paddles won't last long so 'git
yurself won tiday!. Add to your collection and be ready
when your main paddle snaps or disappears.
Paddling with a wood paddle is
a joy. The natural bouyancy and warmth is a pleasure for your
hands and a relief to your arms. The oval shaft is comfortable
in your grip and the paddles are fairly lighweight. These are
good paddles but not the best you can get (geesh...a a great wood
kayak paddle runs several hundred bucks). Paddling 'wood' has
some prestige to it they look sweet.
These paddles will also make an
excellent paddle for someone starting out, or as a great spare
paddle. The break apart design will stow easily in your boat so
you won't be caught up the creek or out in the ocean without a
paddle if yours breaks or if you forget your paddle at home.
Every Paddler
NEEDS a spare stowed in their boat for safety!
The ferrules are made by the U.S.
Sawyer Canoe Company and the paddles manufactured in Czechoslovakia.
They were made about 6-8 years ago and imported in a one-time
venture. They have been warehouse stored in boxes and wrapped
in plastic. They are not warped or bent and not cracked. The blades
are protected with a 2oz fiberglass cloth with resin coating and
the shafts are resin coated too. The tip is neoprene dipped and
coated with epoxy resin. For sea and flatwater kayaking they should
last a long time.
