>Check with Wayne Horodowich at University of Sea Kayaking >(www.useakayak.org). I know that he imports them. Wayne will ship you a Toksook to try, with the rental cost applied to the purchase if you buy. He's a terrific guy and, as an aside, a very good teacher. The design of the Toksook is attractive, but the weight is a killer. I paddle an AT Exception and switching to the Toksook was painful. Even Wayne uses a lighter paddle for longer distance paddles. switching to the Toksook for surfing and rock garden play where support and durability are more important. I wish they'd make one that weighs 28 ounces, then I might switch. ********************************************************* John S.
