There are plans in Nicks book "The strip-built Sea Kayak" http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Book/index.html

Here's Spidey's page he has some paddle building stuff on it. http://www.dbeweb.com/kayak/

Shawns also has some paddle building info. http://www.geocities.com/shawnkayak/

: 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.
