I was looking to buy my own paddle and I thought others might be interested in what's I've found. I didn't know there are 5 grades of the Grey Owl paddle:

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, I am an official Grey Owl distributor. I have all (5) grades of the IDBF Certified paddles in stock:



(1) REGULAR - inexpensive, heavy, (47" only)  $35.00
(2) HI-PERFORMANCE - 3-layer laminated shaft, hardwood edges on blade,  light weight  $45.00
(3) CARBON-SHAFT - fibreglass laminated blade, no flex  $90.00
(4) PEARL - foam core with fibreglass lamination, no flex, durable  $125.00
(5) JET - foam core with all-carbon lamination, no flex, durable, light weight $175.00

All pirces include handle installed at your choice of length and taxes.

Vincent.

RayRay: I was wondering if you could post up some official weights for each paddle.   I remember reading somewhere that the Pearl actually weighs in a bit heavier than the High-Performance... if that's the case, then what is the benefit of buying the Pearl paddle?   Durability isn't exactly an issue, when compared to the High-Performance...    

Also, what kind of product warranty are we looking at for the Pearl, Carbon-Shaft, and Jet paddles?

From the numbers posted on Grey Owl's website... I find it strange that their composite paddles are actually just as heavy as their wooden ones.
REGULAR - 623.68g
HI-PERFORMANCE - 510.29g
CARBON-SHAFT - 453.59g
PEARL - 623.68g
JET - 510.29g

And for comparison here's some other paddles
Burnwater Reactor - 430-460 grams w/ carbon T
Simon River Sports - 450-510g on average depending on paddle length.
ZRE - 411.06-453.59g on average depending on paddle length and handle.
