Fritz Orr is making paddles and was a sponsor of the OC Slalom Nats - donated a paddle, too. Very pretty.

The German paddle manufacturer Kober is one of the oldest paddle makers in the world with over 125years of experience.

Polar Paddles (Walt Jepson - also a Keith B understudy - Note: there are a few more who studied under the master but I don't know if they are making them commerically or not - kayak or canoe).

Personal makers... man there are a bunch of them and the ones I have seen are very very nice. I know a few kids that went through Kieth's camp week (making "their" spoon) that can prob make a mean stick too. Maybe a list of them as well. They know who they are.

Clinch River (Bailey Johnson)

I have been using Class Five for a few years and I love them. I am really excited about the new paddles that are being made by Class Five.
