I'm looking for a carbon fiber paddle and absolutely need the palm grip. So far I know about ZRE, Apex and Merlin. There's also Trivium but people are saying that the wait for delivery is about one year. Are there any other brands that offer palm grip paddles? Thanks in advance.

If you contact the Trivium dealer in the US the wait shouldn't be too long. He may even have some in stock. I arranged a group buy and contacted the manufacturer directly and it took 6 or 8 months due to misunderstandings because of the language barrier. Difficult, but not impossible and for us it was worth it.

Brasca does a carbon fibre paddle with wooden palm grip.  They have a dealer in Victoria that sells them, Ocean River sports I think it is

Thanks for the replies.

My further research seems to indicate that local reps/dealers can swap a regular T-grip with a palm grip for any particular paddle? That's what some seem to offer. Instead of waiting for a new one off the production line. Does this mean I can do it, too, in my own garage? I've seen those webpages where they sell only the grips, then only the shafts, then only the paddles.

Is special equipment needed? Anybody know?

TIA
