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.
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....

Great paddle
After borrowing my friend's Otter tail, I just wanted one. I like taking a long stroke with a little J stroke at the end. This is perfect. The workmanship is superb. The Cherry paddle is a little weightier than I expected, but I'm a big boy now so I can handle it. Well done Greg.
