They look very much like they were made by Mitchell, who isn't making them anymore. People do like that style of paddle a lot, and that is a super price if the size is right for you.

Yes I saw something about the Voyager brand being purchased by Mad River then they disappeared. The handle is a nice shaped grip and they weigh about a pound and a half.
One is 54” and the other is 50” so one of them should fit me well.
I haven’t tried them yet but will soon. They’re way better than the ones I have now for sure. Though I have been using a yak paddle.
Maybe I’ll use one of these for a while and finally master the J stroke

I saw this listing on FB marketplace for two “fiberglass” paddles . $50
Sure looks and feels like carbon fiber to me. Bent shaft wood shaft and carbon blade.

Is anyone familiar with this brand or model of paddle?

I can't find anything, but they look very well made and $50 is an absolute steal for most any carbon paddle, let alone two with a double bent wood shaft. Nice find!

Sounds like it was a paddle orig. made in KC. Then purchased by mad river. They were dropped when mad river changed ownership.
