Anyone like this paddle for low strain low-angle paddling in a heavy boat? Is there a better suited 4-pc for the money?

A very good compromise between my Lendal Archipelago and the Greenland sticks I normally use in terms of a balance of effort and effect. I paddle a Pintail --- and it's heavy only when I'm in it.

I've been looking at 4 piece paddles, and the Aqua Bound 1 piece I own is not my favorite. I am going to convert a Swift to a 4 piece by purchasing 2 extra sleeves and buttons. cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
This is off topic, somewhat, as I have no advice to offer on the AquaBound, but I have been searching for a source for those buttons, short of stealing the ones from my mother-in-laws crutches. Right now, my newly refurbished wooden 2-pc'ers use a couple small machine screws to fasten at the ferrules. I'd like to adapt them to spring buttons to allow for easily changing the feather angle (I'd hate to drop my Gerber multi-tool in the water trying to change them in the middle of a lake somewhere), but haven't been able to find those cool little spring buttons anywhere. Bob, sounds like you may know a source? Regards, Chris B. Bob Denton wrote: > I've been looking at 4 piece paddles, and the Aqua Bound 1 piece I own is > not my favorite.
