Wonderful folks to work with, and a great paddle. I am 6'2", with a very long upper body. I also have some carpal tunnel in my wrists. I built a cedar-strip solo canoe, and needed a very long crank shaft kayak paddle for it. I contacted EVERY other maker of kayak paddles and NONE would make a custom extra-long crank shaft, EXCEPT Sawyer. They were fantastic, "no problem, how long do you want it?" and when it arrived, it is even adjustable by a few cm's. Quality is wonderful, it looks great with my boat, and best of all, it fits!
