RE:[Paddlewise] Wooden Paddles

My second paddle was a Cricket Designs 2 piece wooden paddle.  I too like a
wooden paddle.  Part of it is the appearance, part is the feel.  I also
noticed that Patrick Maun was correct when he told me that a wooden paddle
is more comfortable to hold in the winter.  I think there may also be some
flex and responsiveness advantages as well.  I do think the greater bouyancy
of the wood helped me learn the proper orientation of my paddle as I attempt
to develop the so far proverbial bomb-proof roll.
