Without fanfare, or even knock on the door, I discovered in my garage today
a 220cm wooden crate redolent with the lingering fragrance of Big Island
plumeria. Judicious use of power tools liberated my new beefed up 215cm ONNO
paddle from inside. Patrick had warned me to have my demolition tools handy.

Also in my garage are two pieces of Sitka Spruce waiting to be laminated and
freed from anything superfluous to a Greenland Paddle.

I am torn over which I might use the most when both are at my beck and call
and I can tell their are others out there who vacillate between the two
worlds. Perhaps they will find this other paddle from my garage the perfect
blend of old and new:
