Seems to me as if this would be a great paddle to have. Has anyone heard of this or own one? What is your opinion of them?
Revolutionary Kayak Paddle Design by Backwater Paddle Company "Shocks and Awes" the Paddle Sports Market
ROCKLEDGE, FL, January 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Backwater Paddles is launching its patented "hook and teeth" kayak blade design. Predator and Piranha Fishing Hand Paddles and Raptor Kayak Paddles are shocking the paddle sports market. Its revolutionary blade profile has left everyone in awe after their initial introduction to the paddles. Paddle sportsmen and enthusiasts are thrilled by the paddles extraordinary looks, function and safety features.
"The patented 'hook and teeth' blade design instantly grabs your attention." The unique blades provide unparalleled function. The "hook" on the top of the radically designed blades affords the paddler the opportunity to grab onto lines, docks, trees, boats, swimmers, floating gear, or anything you can possibly snag. The "teeth" on the outside blade edge provide positive contact during any pushing evolution with the paddles.
Ed Halm, retired US Naval Survival Instructor and Backwater Paddle Company owner, is capitalizing on one of the fastest growing recreational markets. Paddle sports. Kayaking and canoeing, particularly kayak fishing is exploding into the paddling arena. Kayak and paddle manufacturers are rapidly evolving to develop and introduce new paddle equipment and accessories to satisfy this exploding outdoor sports market. With his vast paddling and military survival experience, Ed identified potential paddling problems and provided distinctive solutions to the paddle sports market in an immeasurable way. Thus, the patented Backwater Paddle design.
The vision of Backwater Paddles is "not to just be another paddle manufacturer, but rather a cultural phenomenon in paddle innovation."
There are no other paddle companies on the market competing with the Backwater Paddles design. There is no sacrificing of hydrodynamics, weight or integral strength with these distinctive paddles. Whether paddling for fun, fitness or fishing, Backwater Paddles patented designs are unmatched in quality, practicality and value. These innovative paddle features guarantee a more controlled and secure evolution while paddling in any environment. These revolutionary paddles can be seen at www.backwaterpaddles.com (http://www.backwaterpaddles.com/).
After retiring from the Navy, Ed launched Backwater Paddle Company in 2007. Ed is known and respected throughout Central Florida for his comprehensive knowledge of wildlife and paddling. He is a kayak eco-tour guide and avid paddle sportsman. A paddling adventure down the Econlochatchee River in Central Florida forever changed the outlook of the basic kayak blade configuration. For decades, manufacturing materials have been the only significant modifications in paddle blade designs. Plastic to composite materials, from cheap to expensive, paddle blades have all looked and performed the same since the Inuit's first stretched seal skins over wooden frames.
Backwater Paddle Company is manufacturing and marketing the exclusive seven ounce Predator and Piranha Kayak Fishing Hand Paddles to kayak anglers and sportsmen. Kayak hand paddles were specifically designed to meet the needs of skinny (shallow) water fishermen and sportsmen desiring stealth in their fishing and sporting endeavors.
Paddle or fish? Paddle or shoot? This is the kayak angler and kayak sportsmen's invariable dilemma. How do I fish, photograph or hunt while paddling my kayak? How can I stealthily move my boat without spooking the prey?
Backwater Paddles introduction of the Predator and Piranha Fishing Hand Paddles to the kayak angler and sportsmen market was again precipitated by function. The demand for fishing hand paddles was born from necessity. See the exclusive fishing hand paddles and action videos at www.backwaterpaddles.com/Stalker.html (http://www.backwaterpaddles.com/Stalker.html).
Have you ever tried holding an eight foot fishing rod and move your kayak with a seven foot paddle simultaneously? It is a very cumbersome proposition from the start. You either have to put down your rod, then paddle, or grow another arm. You cannot selectively hold a rod or camera with one hand and paddle your boat with a standard kayak paddle. Stow that unwieldy kayak paddle and grab a seven ounce Predator or Piranha Hand Paddle. Effortlessly move your kayak with one hand while continuing to fish, photograph or hunt without spooking your prey.
