: Good Afternoon! Wish it were rainy here...

: Skip on over to the Qajaq USA forum and do some archive searching.
: It's been discussed a lot. Look in particular for posts by Roy
: Martin, who builds 4-piece GPs in wood and carbon fiber. You may
: also want to look for posts on transporting paddles. Whenever
: you see a kayak on a roof rack with a piece of PVC next to it
: it's a good bet that there are GPs in the tubing. Someone posted
: about using a vinyl fence post. The ends are pointy and more
: aerodynamic, and since it's square you can fit more paddles for
: the same length. If you're paddling a SOF with no bulkheads you
: can just slip your paddles in the kayak. If you're not- maybe
: you should make a new kayak to keep your paddles in!

the pvc pipe would be a good option, never thought of that one, again the paddles fit in the toaster(honda element) but are in the way. making a new boat to store paddles in ,CAPITOL IDEA!! thats just the ticket wait till my wife hears this one (I like the idea though).

food for thought carry the paddles in a tube on roof, just have to deal with securing the tube as well as boat, a tad inconvinient But a single piece paddle is sure to be better most times.HMMM???

many thanks
