Everyone thanks for your quick replies.

Reg,
Nice photos of your paddle builds. I also found this link on building a paddle.

Also a youtube video of building one.

Great information. I need to borrow a few paddles from a friend to check out how they were constructed. He is an incredible fiberglass kayak builder and is the person who got me into building kayaks. He did say I could borrow a few paddles to check out their design, shape, weight and construction.
