To everyone, the "crooked" paddles are called Bent Shaft paddles. Let's get the jargon right at least. -----Original Message----- From: Kirk Olsen [SMTP:kolsen_at_imagelan.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 1999 1:28 PM To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net; Tom_P_McAuliffe_at_fastmultimedia.com Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Paddles?

I'm aware of one person who has an AT, they are on this list, and thus far their comments are very positive. I've also got a bow paddle that a paddling buddy swears by. I love it for off season paddling - the shaft is arced and has "handles" so that your palms face each other. It's very easy to get a vertical paddle blade plant with this paddle, to meet that ACA "ideal". > What is the best value in Paddles today A homemade paddle, a greenland style being the easiest to make. It may be the best value but I'm not about to give up my lightweight hightech paddles. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue May 11 1999 - 14:25:05 PDT
