[Paddlewise] FW: RE: Werner Paddles

If that's the case I would never buy a Werner product. Who are they to
decide what my capabilities are! That's ABSURD!!

-Hi Bob and All,

Werner will not sell ferrule kits.  The reason is that many people are not
capable or willing to do a good job and the result is paddles that bear the
Werner name but don't reflect their standards of quality.

I should mention that I am not a Werner employee but that I do know them
pretty well and I am working on a new website for them at this moment.  You
can look forward to a whole new look for Werner on the web in a couple of
weeks.

Cheers,

--
