There have been 2 recent posts, one is still current, about kayak paddle shaft length for canoes. While looking at various brands I noticed some with offset or "ergonomic" grips. Anyone have experience with such shafts? Just holding my hands in front of me I can see that offset grips would put my wrists in a more neutral position.

I have used my Werner bent shaft for about 10 years and love it. Problem is finding a desirable length paddle with the bent shaft. My 220 is good for high angle paddling but not so good for low angle. Werner makes a 230 in bent shaft, but nothing longer.
In addition to the wrist angle benefit the bend gives a good grip to adjust the paddle angle for entry and modified J stroking.

Thanks for pointing me to Werner. They now have 2 kayak paddles in lengths up to 240 with bent shafts. The weights are around 20 ounces! The prices are, of course, expensive, but they must be fantastic paddles to use!

While pricey the Werner Bent Shaft Kalliste is light and tough. I have been happy with my 240cm for 10 years. I find the double blade particularly helpful in windy conditions.
