: Bill, how is your GP modified. (that should be a question mark, but
: my PC has stuck on french characters somehow).
: I`m thinking of building one this week from the plans from the
: www.qajaqusa.org site.

It's a soft shoulder GP with a canoe shaped, reversed curve blade design. Diamond shaped on only the power face and curved on the back side. I think Morris recommended the diamond-curved back design, it's easier to carve than the double diamond shape and works just as well. Works just as well reversed too, paddling with the paddle held backwards, though it's harder to hold the cant that way.
