A Finely Tuned New Paddle...
A stunning birthday present from my dear friends Rick and
Cat: this brand new hand-made kayak paddle. It’s also a completely new concept.
With exceptional blade area for maximum purchase, this finely tuned paddle
features a flat-curve (curvaceous around the edge, if a little frayed, and flat across the face). The
back of the blade has built-in bracing so you may never need to brace for
yourself again.

The shaft is turned from fine quality straight-grained
“broom’andle” wood, which makes sweep strokes and sweep rolls simplicity
itself.

Trying to be impartial, I believe the thinking behind this
paddle is sound. It certainly offers a "hole" lot of fun!
But while I cannot deny the generosity of my friends, I get the feeling there could be some strings attached. But I won’t fret about it. I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it. Let’s face it, with gifts you don’t always get to take your pick.

ReplyDeleteThis finely tuned paddle should settle all debates about paddle superiority GP vs Euro :-)
