If you can find an NØSA paddle, you’ll be very pleased. Larry only makes 
smaller paddles now, but when he was in full production, his paddles were 
sublime.

N3ZN’s look very nice. I can see why Bencher would be seen as “fussy,” but in 
30+ years, mine have never given me a second of regret. The one at the cottage 
has gone through 15 seasons of freeze-thaw and not lost a microgram of its 
settings.

 Still, my go-to is the NØSA.
