The Modified Special is a nice middle ground between the Ray Special and the Modified Ottertail. The Modified Special is ideal for paddlers who like the look and feel of the Special but find the long blade a little too long for the shallow stuff. Ideal for canoe tripping, lake paddling as well as soloing, the Modified Special is a beautiful well proportioned paddle.
All paddles take up to 3 weeks to craft and 4-6 days in shipping.
I ordered two paddles just over a year ago. I’m 65 and live to be on the river. I have two canoes, two kayaks and two fishing boats. Human powered transportation has always been my joy. The Ray Special and the modified Otter Tail paddles are absolutely the best navigating paddles I have ever owned. If I ever loose or break one I’ll be buying 2 more. The control you have, the power you can apply or how easily you can glide quietly through the water is amazing. I took so long to review these because I thought they were to specific of use. I was wrong. From lakes to heavy flowing rivers deep or shallow they are it ! Don’t hesitate to buy a couple. If you buy one you’re going to have to fight the bow paddler over it. Trust me !!

This is our third paddle from Greg. One thing they all have in common besides the looks and craftsmanship is that you generate much more power with less effort over traditional shaped paddles. My fiance’ says her lower back is also much better after long paddles.

My initial review was in November based on the look and feel of my new Modified Otter. Now that I have some hours of paddling I can only comment even more enthusiastically. I get a little deeper in the water for better power and get “under” the canoe for better maneuverability. I have it in the oiled cherry finish. Love it!

Great customer service and paddle!
This was a Christmas gift to my husband. He picked it out and I ordered it. I had to call Greg a couple of times and he was super nice and helpful. Beautiful craftsmanship! We can’t wait to try it out soon!

So far superb!
It’s winter here is Wisconsin so not likely to get ‘er in the water until spring. In the meantime the paddle feels smooth, looks perfect and is proportioned just right. I did give it a couple light coats of oil to keep it hydrated over the long winter. Wouldn’t be surprised if I’ll need another next summer!
