Al, maybe DoubleDutch (former Spiderpaddles, before that they were also
called DoubleDutch) is an option for you? I haven't bought another one
the past two years, but back then they did ship abroad. You do need to
mention the exact size between the two grips though...

Depending upon the model of paddle (rodeo, sea kayak, slalom, whatever),
they cost from 260 euro's upwards for the bent shaft plus two blades. I
guess that's roughly 175 UK pounds.

Thanks. Yes they do have a bent-shaft canoe paddle on their list at 69
euros. That's about 45 ukp (plus postage at cost, whatever that might
be). Shame they don't have any pictures and more detailed info.

Al, just send them an email, they should have a lot more pictures...

Also, it might help to ask for experiences with those paddles on the c1
forum at Playak.com:
