A while back I got some good discussion here about the persistent flutter I experienced with a Mid Swift paddle. The cure was to meet Steve Scherrer on Paddlewise. When the outfitter declined to accept the return, Steve offered to swap me from the stock of Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe. Reminds of me of the legend of the customer-service-crazed Nordstrom's chain, where a complaining customer was given a refund on a tire (Nordstrom doesn't sell tires!) Steve shipped me a Werner Little Dipper, which eliminated my flutters with no change in technique. Now, Steve, I have an old tire I'd like to swap for . . . *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
