Jeff, I agree, although Tallahassee may be a little far for you to travel. The Canoe Shop ordered me a couple of Werner paddles. In the meantime, they gave me a couple of nice AquaBound paddles to use for about four weeks. I paid nothing for the loaners, and signed nothing! Also bought some PFD's from them. Prices on all items were better than I could find on the net. I have no affiliation with the shop either.
