: Hey Rehd,

: Screwed up for MY purposes, man! I've got 2 weeks until the West Coast
: Rendezvous and a 3-day paddling trip and no time for mistakes!!

: If I had a lefty paddling buddy, they'd be in business!

: So, want a great deal on a lefty shaft? Hmm?? ;)

: I'll give you a great deal on a left-handed rake, to boot!

: Why is it that in my Sunday School class as a kid, every set of scissors was
: lefty?

: Shawn

Hey Shawn :)

I was just out at David Barrett's the other evening and he was building paddles. He mentioned one that he had screwed up and made left handed too. I'm not sure what you folks are talking about when you say left or right handed paddle. The blades are the same; the length is the same; ??? David tried to explain it to me but, I think it's one of those things where " You got to have been there." Since I haven't paddles yet.......

You guys are TRYING to break out. Look at Tony below, he's about ready to become an "AMBI"....... Then, there'll be no stopping him. You must be a young buck, cause they didn't start making Lefty Scissors until the Late 70's. :) They probably got our shipment.

I'll leave the lefty shaft for someone whose in the water already. I'm sure there will be one or two who could use it now. Thanks for the offer. Most folks would just chop it up, toss it and write it off to.......?? whatever. I will keep it in mind for future reference. Keep us posted on how they turn out.
