It's always interesting to read about your ideas and this time to hear and see you at the same time is even better. Also nice to see people actually paddling on water; the water in front of my lake house is rather hard at the moment and will be until sometime in March. Once the move from the farm is over and my new shop is set up right I'm going to find some spruce in Seattle and try to carve out a GP for this summer. You made a paddle using a combination of carbon-fiber blades and wood shaft that's on your web site and I wonder whether you still use that and how you would compare the GP you were using in the video with that. I do enjoy the wing paddle I'm using but must admit that it's anything but quiet. It makes a distinctive "plop" when you have the placement right and throws a lot of water out at the end of the stroke. But oh boy, is it fast! LOL Thanks for spending the time to give us all new ideas.
