Matthew

I'm down here right now in San Diego and the surf at NAB Coronado this afternoon was way overhead. Made launching a real scary event (check out the trips section for the paddle writeup). A bud in Santa Cruz said the waves yesterday and this morning were really awesome that way. Where are you at?

So...gotta ask. Are you thinking about a foam-core paddle blade? If so, I cracked the carbon fiber on one side of a Werner Kalliste paddle on a rock, the other side was broke though to the foam.

Just thought I'd share that with you...
