The Ray Special is our number one seller. It is more than just a beautiful paddle. It combines a well-proportioned blade with an appealing ratio between the blade and shaft lengths. Ray Specials pair a shaft and blade of equal length. This results in a paddle with a longer than normal blade that is mechanically superior to other paddles. The Ray Special is a great paddle for canoe tripping, lake paddling as well as paddling solo. The long blade provides a solo canoeist with greater reach and responsiveness. Although not for whitewater the Special is great for all other paddling needs.
All paddles take up to 3 weeks to craft and 4-6 days in shipping.
I got this paddle for my father last Christmas and it is beautiful. Over the summer my whole family used it during our day long paddles. The difference is apparent after your first stroke, the leverage is unlike anything I have ever felt. This is how paddling a canoe is supposed to feel.

Functional Art
The Fishell-Ray Special is amazing. The weight is distributed perfectly throughout the paddle which is clearly felt in its swing weight throughout a stroke. The paddle balances a smooth "catch" and gentle glide throughout each stroke. Lastly, Greg's craftsmanship is very impressive; it's clear that Greg has developed and refined his craft over numerous years. As I shared in the title, the Fishell Ray Special combines performance, feel, and aesthetics. As I shared in the title of this review, it is "functional art".

Terrific paddle
Arrived just in time for a 3 day Maine trip with mh daughter. During a month long trip she found the same paddle washed up on an island in N Ontario. She enjoyed it much more than the one she brought but accidentally left it in CAN. And. Now we have the same paddle. Love it!!

A beautiful paddle, both in looks and performance
A beautiful paddle, both in looks and performance. It has a slight flex which gives life to it. The best analogy I can come up with is to that of a racing cross country ski, the liveliness makes paddling seem effortless.
I was right on the cusp of a sizing break and wasn't sure if I had ordered the correct size. Greg was willing to exchange, but I decided to keep, as I was already addicted to it.

Awesome Paddle
My brother was amazed after the 3rd stroke, he couldn't believe how a different style of paddle makes a huge difference. I also am very pleased with the results of using Greg's paddle for the first time. I will NOT paddle with out a Fishell paddle....
