Ray Special
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.
My paddle is like a Ferrari. Absolutely great! The power and maneuverability is insane. The slight flex is perfection. Traveling is half the effort now and if I really dig I’d guess I can get another 1.5mph out of my 164 Penobscot. Thank you so much. Perfect
This is my second paddle from Fishell. These do not disappoint!
Have not used them yet but they are a work of art! Thank you!!!
Ordered two "Ray Special." Love them. I appreciate Greg taking the time to answer a few of my questions and then making these for my son and I. They will see lots of use in the Boundary Waters for years to come.
Rich sees his Ray Special as a work of art, and has been taking it to show to friends who appreciate the finely crafted tool, knowing the efficiency and grace the paddle will offer. He has been handling it and appreciating the connection to its history with the First Nations Peoples. Once we’re on the water, we’ll happily send pics and a video.
