Hey Nick,
Is that one in your book? If not, generate some prints or offsets and offer them for sale i'll buy a set.: That is my standard, every day paddle. I use the same paddle whether I'm
: playing in currents or going long distance. It is flat across the power
: face and curved along the blade length. The back face is curved across its
: width.: It is pretty much like a white water paddle, although at 210 cm it is
: slightly longer than is typically used for WW but still shorter than most
: sea kayak paddles. Because it is relatively short, it doesn't not put a
: whole lot of load on my shoulders, but with the wide blade, I can get a
: good bite on the water when I want it.: The water at that location is quite deep. It would take serious effort to hit
: a rock - one of the reasons I didn't feel a need to wear a helmet.
