     Grey Owl " Tenderfoot" paddle.
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.

     Have two Grey Owl Hammerhead Paddles. This paddle feels at home in my hands. The response and feel of the water is perfect. the T-grip is a sure fit. I don't worry about rocks or breaking the paddle, it's taken plenty of beatings on Class 1-4 in my Esquif Nitro. I highly recommend this paddle. It's purdy too!

     Grey Owl Scout model - I own several canoe paddles including some expensive composite bent-shafts. My Grey Owl Scout gets the most use though. The features I value are; narrow blade width, small shaft diameter, and light weight (it is only a few ounces heavier than the composites). The price cannot be beat either.

     My wife and I just purchased our Voyageur paddles. It has a wider/shorter blade that is easy to use on all conditions, especially shallow waters. I just love it. I highly recommend them.

     Grey Owl Tempest touring paddle. This is an excellent buy for a well made 2-piece wooden paddle. It's weight is just over 2# (34oz). The Tempest has a beautiful finish that shows care & quality. I shopped hard for a light weight wooden paddle and am extremely pleased with this one. Paddling is a real pleasure with little effort. A definite winner.

     I am referring to the freestyle paddle. A good paddle for the money but it would be much better if the grip were about twice as large. I use mine as a spare but plan to make the grip larger when time permits.

     Excellent production stick very comparable to Mitchell Slalom. I like the grip style on the Grey Owl better than any other - lots of thumb control. Oval shaft grip is sized right. This is a solid stick, very stiff when needed in braces and rolls, and just enough flex so that it can be used all day. Some flutter when you really pour on the juice. Good catch. Better recovery. Underwater returns are a snap. Twirls overhead well but the balance point is a little high (I use a 59" overall). This is a pretty paddle (good wood choices and matching). Marginally lighter than most comparable models in wood or synthetic. This is not a high performance stick but is an excellent recreational choice for class III-IV cruising.
