Man, that was almost eerie... Leo's post might have been written by ME. Only differences are that my paddle came in heavier still (40 oz), I tried using it for less time (30 minnits), and I have a bandsaw. Otherwise, it was perfectly dead-on, right down to the 23 oz CF paddle on standby! I might add that I found the GP really, really WET. No drip rings, y' know...

Looking forward to hearing feedback. I imagine it is only a matter of learning technique. I almost hope I don't, since I have just ordered two Onno paddles, for Leslie and myself, and shall probably get them in a week or two.

Cheers,
Kurt Maurer
