Duluth Pack satisfied customer
“I have had this paddle for 5 years. Have used it for 6 BWCA trips and lots of day trips. It has held up well. No cracks at all and no wear at the tip of the blade because of the excellent Rockgard material. The grip is especially comfortable for me and this paddle also looks great too.”

“A couple years ago I bought the beautiful BB Sun Shadow Straight for my girlfriend to use. She loves its lightweight and its comfortable handle and its good looks. It's a major step up from the cheap aluminum & plastic paddles we had before. I've used her Sun Shadow on rivers where I wanted a straight paddle, and it's really a great paddle. Best of all, these paddles are true lightweight performers, not just beauty pageant winners. We're totally sold on these Bending Branches paddles.”

“I splurged and it has been well worth it. This paddle is amazingly light and strong. I just got back from 3 days on the Upper Delaware and it performed beautifully on the class I’s and II’s the river has to offer. I like the stern and this paddle could turn wonderfully. My brother got plenty of power from it when he used it in the bow. This paddle is also a fine piece of craftsmanship that looks beautiful while waiting for "next time".

“This paddle performs as great as it looks. It delivers plenty of power and control for river situations and its reinforced blade is extremely tough! This is one of the lightest 60 inch paddles I have ever picked up - Great!”
