Re: [Paddlewise] Concrete Canoe

It looks like someone is finally designing a canoe for owners of British
heavy kayaks. If it becomes a commercial success, I'll finally have a canoe
worthy of being placed next to my favorite kayak.

Now if they could just make a good concrete or maybe steel or even lead,
feathered, winged, or Greenland style paddle, we'd finally have all the
equipment a hard core paddler needs.

(Yes, I know they've made great sailboats out of concrete, but as the owner
of a 15 year old 18 foot long, 80 pound, fiberglass single kayak that my
friends have nicknamed concrete,  I just couldn't resist)
