I agreee with alll of the above. Our favorite paddles are "Bending Branches" brand. Ours are made of wood with kevlar? tips and come apart in the middle. They can be put together to allow for different offsets depending on your preference. I prefer my paddles straight, my husband prefers one paddle blade to be perpendicular to the other.
One word of advice, because these are so pricey, they are only used by adults. When we have young ones visiting, they use the plastic paddles.
I found my paddle on Craig's list.
Good luck!
