: Ooh, did you wash your nylon? I heard that the factory use oil to lube their
: loom. The oil may prevent adhesion.

I didn't wash it, and this is the first I've heard of the possibility. I bought from Dyson, and he has a fairly detailed fact sheet that he sends out - nothing was mentioned there, and I would think he'd inform people of that.

However, at this point, I'm open to any ideas about what's gone wrong. Man, that thing was fun to paddle while I could!

Thanks,
Wayne
