Re: [Paddlewise] Paddles?

I've been paddling for over 20 years and do not much care for the bent
paddles.  Many years ago I purchased a number of paddles from Norse Paddling
Co. and have been very satisfied ever since.
Guaranteed for life - repairs free - just pay shipping and handling ($3.00
per paddle).
I have used my paddles so much I have had to replace the blades from wear
($15.00 per paddle)
