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.
