: paddle as my backup, but if I get a LPB one day I can try out a
: storm paddle . . .

: Dave: I only paddle flat water, no current and few rocks, my
: biggest threat so far is getting splashed by trout in the
: spawning season when I venture into the streams. A leash in
: windy conditions would be a sensible precaution; would there be
: an entrapment risk if it were attached to the boat?

: Bill: I don’t have a bent paddle; I became aware of those after I
: decided to leave the dark side and quit regular canoeing; I have
: a couple of home-built solo “lost-pond” style canoes but
: those are for double-bladed paddles.

Gotta find a bent paddle :)

I never used one either till last season, they were coming on the market just when I sold my previous canoe (tells you how long ago), tried one this year and very quickly fell in love with thing :)
