Paddle: PADDLE SHAFT STRENGTH TESTS
By:Gene
Date: 4/27/2013, 8:49 am

I posted on breaking a paddle shaft during float re entry practice.

I'm not finding claims, tests, or flack for paddle shaft strengths.

Of course testing paddle shafts is expensive but without merit for selling paddles ?

Is strength information available online ?
