In Response To: building wings (Shawn Baker)

: Maybe one of us needs to build a pair of wing blade forms so we can do
: one-off glass blades and make enough to share around.
A local paddler has made a carbon-fiber wing-like paddle from scratch. I need to see how he went about it. He is a devoted wing paddle user but wanted to race in the sea kayak class of the Blackburn Challenge which disallows wings. So he made a paddle that was just like a wing but without the rolled over upper edge. It has twist along the length and is angled off the axis of the shaft.
