:JJ an angle grinder with a sandpaper adapter will save a lot of time shaping. If you just fiberglass 4 inches on the tip on one side of the paddle it will make it lighter. If you let the fiberglass hang about 1/2 inch over the tip of the paddle and run a bead of thick epoxy around the tip on the back side of the glass it will make a rock guard (trim it after it has cured). Most of all have fun
