We began with the kayak paddles(kids and adults), then added canoe paddles(love the Kids Tales Canoe paddles) and recently added Stand Up paddles. We LOVE them all. My kids are 5&9 and they found these paddles really easy to use for all their river adventures. These are the most amazing and beautiful paddles, made locally. While I was in buying the SUP paddles, a professional river guide was buying his oar paddles — this says something about the quality of their products. Love, Love, Love them. I have found that searching the website first and finding the paddle you are interested in before contacting the local store is the way to go. That way, the store and special order the paddle(s) if they do not carry that particular paddle.
