This particular paddle was constructed for a custom-sized special order requesting specific wood coloration, in addition to different measurements from our standard sizes. When the black streaks showed up in the cedar as it was being carved, we decided to not proceed with sending this one and made a different one instead for our customer. So, we are making this one available to anyone who could use these measurements and doesn't mind the extra character of the wood coloration. 
It is a beauty in its own right!

Rosario - Customer's Maiden Voyage

Rosario - Customer's Maiden Voyage


Hi Brita and Randy, 

Full report: LOVE the Greenland paddle. Essentially silent and smooth, more of a flowing motion. But a somewhat different technique. Was able to get closer to the birds on the water without disturbing them. Circumnavigated Baby island on solo trip and didn’t seem to perturb the eagle sitting on the rock outcropping, though only a few feet away. As a "maiden voyage" opted to test the paddle with my Eddyline kayak because it is more maneuverable. Can't wait to try it with the Pygmy Osprey next. Thanks so much!

Classic Storm Paddle - Customer Feedback

Hi Randy and Brita:

I LOVE my new Classic Storm paddle. It's beautiful, (as I knew it would be.) But it's also so cute! The short size really grabbed my attention. (I'll probably just keep it here in my office to look at for a few days. It's that lovely!) It will fit perfectly as a backup paddle on my kayak. But it will also be my primary paddle on those extra windy days and days that I want to explore all the narrow channels on the Elkhorn Slough. Also, I recently added outriggers to my plastic kayak so I will feel more stable with my camera even when I'm zoomed in on an otter or a bird. This paddle will be perfect to use because it won't hit the outrigger.

You make amazing paddles and the quality just shines through. I look forward to many years of great paddles with the Storm, just as I've had with my Latona.

Thanks, again.
