Finally a Kayak Owner - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GH, Brian is right, I was very impressed with the fact that OEX is now carrying Werner paddles. Another plus is they have them for the same price as everyone else. My understanding is that Werner controls the price on all paddles sales.

My only other advice is try before you buy, make sure the paddle you get is one you are comfortable paddling. I tried 8+ paddles before I bought the Corryvreckon glass (the carbon was not within my budget at the time).

I have an ONNO Full Tour Carbon signature and like it a lot. I don't know what his prices are these days but back then, his custom paddle was substantially less than an off the shelf, non custom paddle. As Brad points out, getting hold of Patrick is the only issue. But once I did, he built me a paddle in less than a week.

BTW, West Marine has a lot of electronics on sale. I got a West Marine VHF for sub $100. Waterproof bag $4. The old BoatUS store on Rosecrans still had a big selection (not much left in the big store down by the SD boat landings.)
