: My favourite paddle (with very thin edged blades) has lasted two
: full years of usage on the rocks and beaches of Newfoundland -
: including ice pans. The edges are holding up great. It's the
: tips that you need to worry about. This particular paddle has a
: ABS plastic "guard" epoxied to the tip. It has saved
: the paddle through numerous push-offs from rocks - many of which
: would shred an unsheathed paddle. Attach is a image of the tip.
: This little beauty is 88" long x 3.25" wide and weighs
: in at 27 oz.

: I also did a write up about this paddle on my blog -

How did you hollow out the loom on that thing?
