>> Actually I have clear up the record here. Most Inuit kayakers today use paddles made from cast off hockey sticks. When asked why they use hockey sticks instead of carving a paddle from a piece of drift wood they laugh and reply that the only reason their ancestors carved paddles form driftwood was because they didn't have any old hockey sticks. A top quality carbon fiber hockey stick paddle is much prized by Inuit hunters. <SNIP> Cheers, John Winters Redwing Designs Specialists in Human Powered Watercraft http://home.ican.net/~735769/ >> ************************************************************************** * Actually, Bending Branches, which makes kayak as well as canoe paddles, also makes hockey sticks.
