Also, my GP
: is made of southern yellow pine, not cedar. The weight
: difference doesn't matter on the water, wood is buoyant.

This comment makes some sense for a boat hull, but for a paddle which spends a good part of the day above the water?

Anyway, all woods are not equally buoyant.

The organic material (it's kinda what wood is made of) I prefer for paddles is carbon fiber...
