I've hunted all over for decent pix of this paddle, have to try to take some of my own. Difficult right now since I'm packing. The pix you see on the web show a regular looking bent shaft paddle, but this bent shaft is nothing like one you've seen before. The grip area is sorta flattened and enlarged forming a hand shaped grip that is very natural feeling. Paddle also has a very unusual shape to the blade that has just as much power, if not more, backpaddling. Wish I'd bought a longer one from their touring line when they were still around.

Heard they broke their mold (again) for the paddle and were having production issues so just gave up. The company that made it is a large composite building company, the paddle was a sideline that ended up taking too much time away from their core business.
