I'm offering a sale on Select Paddles, models C1 and C1R for Cboats members. The Sale will go from now until one week after ALF. I'd recommend the C1R in Carbon-Kevlar with the S lock system (I prefer that adjustable locking system- its bomber). It weighs in at 25 oz and paddles like a dream. The adjustment system can change the length up to 10 cm and you can specify where you want the adjustment range to begin.
I found the paddle to work very well during underwater recoveries and amazing during low bracing due to the raised contour on the back of the blade. Love it. If you are going to be at ALF, you can check out the C1 and C1R there. http://select-kayaks.com/en/paddles/canoe-raft/c1r/
Here's your limited time purchase price for the C1R in Carbon-Kevlar with adjustable length shaft- $300 Fixed Length shaft- $250 Ergo shaft options are available for $50 more, with its location on the shaft customizable to your needs at no extra cost. Shipped direct to you for $37, east coast average delivery time of three days, west coast approx 7. I got mine in UT in three....
I'll post more pics today with measurements of the grip. It's bigger than my Mitchell but smaller than the ones large ones I normally put on my paddles. it's a happy medium I'd say.
The tgrip is 4" long and I've included views of both adjustable locking systems. I strongly favor the one on the left as it is absolutely bomber and pretty quick to adjust. The one on the right is super quick to adjust but not as solid feeling (although still quite strong).
