In Response To: Greenland paddle - so heavy (Ross Leidy)

Thanks for all the info and suggestions. My current plan is to try the paddle as is and see how I like it. If it paddles well, but it's just too darn heavy, I'll turn it into a storm paddle. If it feel like it's too thick in my hands (I did go with the 3/8" edge), I'll shave it down and give it another go. But I think I'll still head to the lumberyard and see if I can locate something nice and light to start with. Like building kayaks, you can't build just one, ... or two, or .... (Gee, Jay, 40?!! But, you're not addicted)

Thanks again. Will post pictures soon.
