I bought this for my husband to replace the first one that he lost. He knew exactly what he wanted in a paddle, and this was the one. Pricey but worth every penny and so is my husband!

Just what I needed. Searched high and low. Have Wenonah Kingfisher canoe that I need to paddle solo at times. This was the longest most ascetic one I could find.

This is a great paddle. I spent months being a cheap skate wondering do I really need this?. Now that I have used it a few times my answer is an unequivocal yes! It makes paddling in headwinds so much nicer. Perhaps the only downside versus a single bladed paddle is the constant drip you get despite the two rubber rings. Oh well. I small price to pay for more enjoyable paddling efficiency.

I like a wood paddle because it is warm and comfortable in the hand, and has great feel on the water. It is wonderfully made and the grip area is oval, not round, to fit the hand better giving you a comfortable and more relaxed grip for long days in on the water. This is an excellent choice if you Solo. I am 6'2", use the 280cm paddle and love it.

Because of back surgery, I was told I could no longer Kayak - pure heartbreak - but I could canoe. So we purchased solo canoes which I also love but I could not handle the J-Stroke due to the back stress. When we found these paddles, it was pure magic and the answer to my problems. We bought 2 of them. They are beautiful, very lightweight (lighter than expected), very effective and perform perfectly. It is the answer to a canoe/kayak paddle merger. I just love this paddle and would recommend it to any one for any reason!

I bought this paddle for a solo wenonah prism canoe. I am 5'10" tall and the 280cm is the perfect length for me. Paddle is excellent quality, light, and the extra length helps with maneuvering as the prism tends to track straight and is a little hard to turn. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a solo canoe. Thanks Austin canoe & kayak

Excellent customer service by ACK and Bending Branches!!!! Impression paddle allows me to keep my Mad River canoe straight and fast with little to no corrective strokes. Quite a work out!

I bought this for my husband and he is very pleased with it. It is of very nice quality and he finds it very functional for paddling his canoe when he is by himself.

I am more than satisfied with this beautiful, light weight, durable and fully functional paddle. It glides through the water strongly, efficiently and quietly. I'm glad I spend the extra money to get a paddle of this quality.
