G'Day,

I've had a carbon fibre paddle for 3 years and the blades are starting to be
covered with fine scratches. Can anyone tell me if this will weaken the
blade which is exposed to a fair bit of UV in the intense Australian sun.
Also recommendations on restoration of the surface and care and maintenance
would be very welcome.

All the best, PeterO
