I used pine on this first paddle and make it a full 3 !/2 inches wide versus 3 3/16 for my regular paddles.....after a couple of paddles it feels very "BIG" width wise. Question....has anyone ever tried a narrower width(3 1/16) storm paddle? >> With all this talk of home made Greenland paddles, I'm almost embarrassed to say that I bought mine. But my Cricket Storm paddle isn't excessively wide at the blade and is so powerful that I have to be careful to avoid over-rotation when I use it in a hurry. I certainly admire those of you that have carved your own paddles, but I still love my Cricket and it rides on my front deck always.
