Hello again, I just purchased a Mitchell Slasher Paddle it has a custom carbon fiber shaft and basswood/ash/f-glass blades. It has a lively feel and has a really pleasing flex in the shaft. I spend a lot of time in the off season in a university pool. I am wonsering if I should be concerned abut the effects of pool chemicals on this paddle. I have seen paint come off fiberglass paddles before and really want to keep this paddle looking good. Any advice? My only complaint is that this paddle makes my nearly-new River Passage look like a stiff turd.
