In Response To: Paddle: Storm measurements (Brian Ervin)

When making my storm I opted for slightly wider blades than my long ones have, otherwise the blade dimensions are the same. It works quite well.

The reason is that a storm can't be extended for more power on the rare occasions this is needed, so I figured a little more bite would be a good thing.

ps. almost forgot, loom is one fist (with neo glove on)

: Where can I find measurements for a storm paddle. I have found much info on
: GPs but none on Storms.

: Should the blades be the same size as my GP's with a loom of 1 hand-lenght?
: Kinda what the ones seen in pics look like.

: Thanks
