Modified Special - Stocked
- In stock
- Backordered, shipping soon
The Modified Special is a nice middle ground between the Ray Special and the Modified Ottertail. The Modified Special is ideal for paddlers who like the look and feel of the Special but find the long blade a little too long for the shallow stuff. Ideal for canoe tripping, lake paddling as well as soloing, the Modified Special is a beautiful well proportioned paddle.

Anna’s paddle arrived, and opening the box felt special— we felt like Eglantine from the movie “Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” when her broomstick arrives in the post.
Anna loved the paddle sock— so collegiate— and the sticker. Your fish shell design delights her.
Her childhood paddle has very special paintings on the blade… so she was uncertain about having her first grown up paddle. Could any new magic be as lovely as childhood magic?
The line of craft that links my Ray Kettlewell modified special to Anna’s Fishell modified special was powerful to see.
The paddle— strong, shapely, generations in the thinking through of the design— it’s an excellent paddle.
The most versatile design I know, based on my own lifetime of having multiple paddles.
Your Fishell modified special is a well balanced, beautiful tool.
Anna was a bit startled that a paddle so big actually fit her, and the grace and confidence she felt using it was lovely to see— the considered quality of the design made her use it as if it was powerful and deserved respect— and her paddling suddenly changed into better paddling when she switched to her new Fishell paddle.
“The wand chooses the wizard;” I don’t know how you knew to make this particular paddle for my daughter. It’s a match for her energy as well as for her height, and it is instilling maturity and confidence in her to use it, knowing it was made for her. She laughingly asked if she was living up to it.
Yes. So, thank you.
