: From what i understand Abachi dont stand water well.

Yes, it seems to absorb a lot of it very willingly, and gets a bit soft too. What would happen over the long run I don't know. I treat my paddles to a varnish-like finish with several coats of "Lasyr". (Bought some from Biltema, of all places!).
