: Hi Brian,
: 27 ounces, Wow thats light! My lightest paddle weighes 30 ounces and I'm
: afraid of breaking it. To me it almost feels to light and flimsy. My tried
: and true beater weighes in around 2 pounds and I think I prefer the extra
: weight. I hope to see your paddle Saturday at the pool session!

I was pretty surprised and a bit concerned, myself. I left plenty of wood and wasn't trying to make it light, it just came out that way.

I'm not sure if I'll be at the pool, but I will definitely be doing the Gloucester paddle in the morning.
