Can anyone tell me how to go about designing your own kayak paddle from scratch. How can I find out about drawings, materials and where to buy them and possible costs. My son is hoping to build a kayak paddle for his GCSE Design Technology course work - worth 60% of the total exam mark and we just don't know where to go to get help. If anyone has the slightest bit of information I would be forever in your debt. Please e'mail this inexperienced internet user with any info you may have.

Many, many, many thanks in anticipation of a reply. I still can't believe that I found this bulletin board.
