I spoke with Greg on the phone and via email many many months ago, but I just could not commit to the Ray Special. Just different than what I have used in the past. I was also unsure about the sizing as well. Long story short, this was the exact paddle I wanted but never committed to. Better to have a foolish moment than to be a fool! I just received it Friday, applied a couple coats of oil, and took it out Monday. I am 6ft paddling a solo Wenonah Wilderness. I edge my boat and sit in a kneeling position most of the time. I enjoy the Indian Stroke and really try to keep my blade in the water 90% of the time I am paddling. This paddle does that with perfection. Feathers through the water with silence and no effort at all. Has a fantastic catch and no flutter on the draw. I took this to Ichetucknee springs to put it through its paces. This is my favorite spot to try a new paddle and it did not disappoint. Paddled up stream 3.5 miles and then another 3.5 back down. I will be buying a second paddle before the year is done. Probably a modified ray or modified ottertail to compliment this paddle for shallow water situations.
The paddle craftsmanship was spot on as well. Nearly perfectly balanced at the throat. Ergonomic handle and the shaft size was not too bulky. Great weight and finish. Thanks again!
The Ray Special is a beautiful paddle and the finish is superb!
I am thrilled at the made-to-order, handmade quality of this piece, and impressed by Greg's thoughtful service and packaging. It's just beautiful and the design is exactly what I need for long paddles on mountain lakes. Not only will it get a lot of use, it is already an heirloom that I will treasure.
