Does anyone know if there is a printed catalog for canoe accessories that includes several lines of paddles. Or, some web sites that would do the same. Not looking for anything fancy and would like to familiarize myself with styles and prices of paddles. Living in the desert there are not many places nearby to shop and explore.
Just a few I have browsed

See if you can pick up a copy of…
“Canoe and Kayak” magazine December’s issue which is their 2008 buyers guide.
It has a bunch of paddle manufactures as well as their paddle specs, etc.
cheers,
