      Comments about Bending Branches Traveler Paddle:

      I love my paddle! I use it with my Mad River 14 2 person canoe. Great for paddling around the lakes and slow moving rivers. I have hit plenty of rocks and have not damaged the paddle due to the rock guard. I recommend this paddle!

        Comments about Bending Branches Traveler Paddle:

        Great traditional straight paddles. We've used these for two seasons now. Bay paddling, rivers, streams, bayous, and lakes; no problem for these. The rock guard tips have been beneficial for launches and landings that are far less than perfect. These are now spare boat paddles and emergency paddles for us.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
