My final choice is ONNO Paddles. It is a one man show and the guy selling the paddle to you is the guy who actually makes it. Sorta like a cottage industry. He makes the paddles individually by hand.
The design is basically a Epic rip off, but I think the ferrule system is unique. The shaft length and feather angle are adjustable.
Will be getting a carbon/glass composite blade with 205cm-215cm adjustment and will be requesting that the blade tips be reinforced.
Here's what the blade looks like.
Reviews say this blade has a strong dihedral, which would explain why they never flutter. But other high end blades tend to lose the dihedral in favour of smoother strokes.
Oh well, I'll take a gamble for this one. Besides, its US$250, much cheaper than the Epic or Werner.
