<Have any of you tried the ergonomic bent shaft paddles> Those of you interested in the bent shaft concept may want to take a look at the paddles from Cadence, a new company associated with Wenonah Canoe Company, (owner of Current Designs). They have introduced a series of bent-shaft touring designs with reinforced thermoplastic blades. The fiberglass-shaft bent model retails at $199 and the graphite shaft bent goes for $250- price points that may broaden the market for bent-shaft kayak paddles. Weights are comparable to all but the lightest of the graphite models out there. Information may be available at www.wenonah.com. Disclaimer: I have been using a demo graphite model since November, and was on the focus group at Wenonah last summer that designed the blades. -Andy Knapp Minneapolis We just had the earliest ice-out dates in history- now no excuse to go paddling. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

Another interesting source of bent/crank paddles are those found at: www.waterstick.com They have some very nice paddles - for example, the ProBend Karma Touring. --- cheers, Stephen stephen.bird_at_superaje.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
