Re: [Paddlewise] Paddlesports show at UNH

Our booth was in the far right hand corner from the entrance.  We make the
wooden laminated paddles with the colored wood, the composite paddles with the
colored plastic blades, and the J-Cradles for carrying boats on car roofs.  Our
logo is a spiral.

With luck they dump right away, near shore, then go get help.
