The Grey Owl Voyager has a shorter wider blade than the River, like the River it is an excellent all round longer trip paddle. The shorter blade means it is more effective in the shallows. The paddle has a laminated ash and bass shaft with a cherry pear grip and a cherry, butternut and bass blade.
These paddles are distinguished by their long slender blades and overall resilience. Originally carved from one piece of wood from a small tree, cedar and basswood were prized because of their light weight while ash, maple and cherry were chosen for strength and durability. Cherry was especially preferred for its resistance to rot and warping along with being relatively light in weight. All basic strokes such as the J and C strokes, along with draw, pry and feather strokes evolved from this type of paddle.
No other paddle can give you the enjoyment and feel of cruising like a traditional paddle. The blade width area is more than adequate to maneuver your canoe so pick the model that appeals to your price range, usage and aesthetics.
