: I had a lot of fun with this project.

Everytime I do this project, I have more psychological ups and downs than any other project, but when it's done, it's always, "WOW!"

I've been really abusing my CF GPs too, with all kinds of banging and prying off the kayak rolling, high leverage surfing, and even banging on rocks. I occasionally have a nightmare about it breaking, but nothing yet, and that's only at 19oz.

Having said all of that about CF GPs, I still love my wooden GPs too, even solid wood finished tung oil.
