I have found a Grey Owl recreational paddle perfect for each boat and water condition I encounter. They also make beautiful high performance canoe and kayak paddles. I recently ordered two "Scout" paddles to add to my others, when we take out an extra boat for guests.
These craftspeople make the best lightweight, cost/quality wood paddle on the market.(to my knowledge) Shop Canadian on this paddle purchase. It is hard to find a middle price range quality paddle from US makers.(take note) Quality, price, service is A-1. Looking for a wooden canoe paddle...If you start with Grey Owl you will likely find the best quality/cost/benefit ratio. They are in Ontario, and ship affordably to the USA. Prompt, efficient, customer service.

Bought this boat in 1993, for a Buffalo River (N.Arkansas)excursion, a five night trip with my 17 year old son. Many trips since in the mid-west and in California, as well. It replaced an Old Town wood/canvas boat I had to leave in Boston, years before.
Durable, versatile, light, user-friendly craft. Added skid plates after 22 years of use. Seats were replaced due to weather wear. I wonder why OT is not going to produce the Royalex version any more. This is a excellent canoe of its type. Find a used one and enjoy.

This is the lightest paddle one could want. Performs like a weightless extension of ones arms. It has a user friendly feel and flex. I use it on my 13" 8" homemade ply canoe. It has unusually quiet water interface.
I highly recommend it for easy-going pleasure paddling.
