In Response To: What size paddle? (Don Beale)

Wow, you're the best. The paddle I use, which I made at a workshop at the Charleston, SC Canoe & Kayak Festival over a year ago, is 84 inches. Did you do that workshop by any chance? I'm not remembering the names of the two guys who did it. My boat is 24 inches wide so I might be able to use something shorter with narrower boats. You sure don't have to carve one just for this. Anything close to that size will do just fine.

Beth Price is bringing her NRS for me so I probably won't need your 3mm, but I don't suppose it would hurt to have it there in case someone needs it unless you have a space issue. Bummer about your drysuit.

Thanks a lot,

Patsy
