I had no idea! Just beginning to educate myself about canoes. I thought a paddle was a paddle! Thanks!

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

I like how he showed a lot of shorter paddles, often a longer paddle is taken, I really enjoy a shorter paddle. One piece paddles are fine tools that hold up to the outdoors.

I still learned a lot of things thanks to your explanations . Thank you .

[@G-man45444]

Awesome video. I have been wanting to upgrade to a nicer looking custom and these paddles are beautiful. The sock is a very smart idea

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

I do love my traditional one piece beaver tail. While I own a Bending Branches Expedition Plus for the tough stuff...no paddle I own is as close to my heart as my hand made one piece beavertail. Mine is about 8 years old now... just a baby compared to several I have inherited from my father and his family.

Great video. I can't wait to pick up a couple of paddles when we pick up our new swift canoe.

[@maydanlex]

Love these paddles.

[@NobleEndeavours123]

I have two of these paddles now! La Bonga made a huge and dramatic difference for me on the low water Tim River in June 2021. Surprised you didn't mention the custom logo option that you offer too!

[@wayne8276]

Great job . Thank you

[@timwyrick1263]

Your pedals are beautiful

[@mooseroo2005]

Ooh walnut is pretty. Not seeing those on the Swift site though.

[@cavtj1]

I was just going to say that too.

[@cavtj1]

@@sed6 Yup, can't get 'em their either.

[@AndySamolinin]

Cool!

[@BowChickaHonkHonk1]

Just started searching online for a paddle sock, when you jogged my memory - having a lot of trouble finding them! Where would you look if you were me? (in Toronto, but travel north in summer.)

[@NikonF5user]

What is the model name of the intermediate otter tail paddle, the one that is quiet? That seems ideal for a bird watching paddler...

[@SwiftCanoeKayak]

the intermediate size is the Tripper. The Sliver is the skinniest, and the Badger Tail is the largest/widest.

[@ProdigiousReturn]

What was the name of that last otter tail with modified north woods grip?

[@sed6]

The Woodland.

[@cavtj1]

That's funny, Mike, you say "all the paddles you see, here are available on line". I went to every retailer on the Badger site, I could not find any of your paddles in walnut. Just sayin'.

[@Jay09889]

I think Badger produce far less Walnut paddles so they are often out of stock. Cherry is by far their best seller, and it's what most smaller retailers stock.

[@iowamatt2519]

Beautiful paddles Bill.

[@VK-vm4xe]

I like when a paddle maker says he's driving slow because he's always watching trees 😀

[@Zakrivers]

Really enjoying my Badger paddle in Sassafras, it’s feather light and super pliable. Oh and FUN!

[@sed6]

I would love to come to that showroom and pick a beautiful paddle off the rack. You're just too far away.
