Ken,

Check with Wayne Horodowich at University of Sea Kayaking
(www.useakayak.org). I know that he imports them. I've been using one I
bought from him during a class he and Derek were teaching several years
back. Because of the length of the blades, most people are more comfortable
with a longer paddle than they usually use. This gives the same shaft
length. I used a 230 when I bought the Toksook and both Derek and Wayne
suggested I go to a 240 with it.

Not only is it a great paddle for learning to roll - but it is my paddle of
choice every time the water and/or weather get rough. I'll put up with a
little extra weight for the support that it gives.
