Was thinking about buying a kayak off a guy and he offered me up a deal on a like new (used once) Norse brand kayak paddle.
He said the paddle was made by a guy who is now making parts for harley davidson but that the paddle maker is very good.
Anyway, I cant find any info, so I cant really research it to figure out what a good price would be. He is bringing me the paddle tomorrow to inspect but I already have 2 werner paddles so it will have to feel good in my hands. 
Its a 1 piece straight shaft paddle made of a mix of materials but the inside is aluminum I think.
Had one for white water canoeing,
like someone else said, heavy and strong, a big big blade.
