In Response To: Finished New Paddle tonight!! (David Walker)

David,

Could give some info about the Kayak Symposium in Tampa (when, where,etc...) I've searched, but can find no info on it.

Congrads on your paddle, I'm just finishing up my first...fir closet rod, 1/8 doorskin plywood feathered blades, glassed on the face, then two coats of epoxy. Lighter than I thought it would be, quite pleased.

Thanks,

Jody
