Review:	Nice paddle! This purchase was for a 2nd BB bent shaft canoe paddle. (I bought my first one about 8 years ago - still in good shape, too!) Super fast shipping from ACK!

Review:	Great product and value. I've only used it once, after years of using a traditional one on my canoe. I was immediately impressed with its lightness, the smoothness of the paddle stroke, and the greater efficiency. My bad back was much happier too. For the first time, I felt my shoulder muscles being more involved.

Review:	Great service. These people know what they are doing. When I told the manufacturer that several local outlets were of no help getting BB bent paddles in specific lengths, they immediately gave me the link to Austin Canoe & Kayak. My hassles were over. ACK is very professional. And I love my new paddles!
