In Response To: Paddle: LIGHTEST PADDLE?? How close did I get?? (Jason Vlogger)

Any info/links about construction techniques or lighter paddles is appreciated!

13oz certainly is light...
Just keep making them shorter and they'll get lighter... ;-)
171 cm (67 inches) is pretty short...in the `storm paddle`range...did you build this paddle to be a deck-stored spare paddle?
My GPs are mostly 80+ inches

How strong is your paddle?

Did you use CF tube sleeve or CF flat cloth?
