Yes, I grew up with Mike Nelson in Sea Hunt! He didn't need all this gear! Just a speedo, a tank and an old garden hose! The guys yesterday looked like they were going to the moon! I'm sure their dive computers were a thousand times smarter than the computer on any Apollo mission! My Frankenstein paddle is just an old Seda paddle I bought from my friend Patrick Martin. It was a one piece feathered to 90% with a blue shaft and orange blades. It weighs a ton, but seems pretty indestructable, aside from my repairs! I cut it apart and glued it back together with no feather using a wood dowel to connect it! It worked for a while, but the dowel broke in the surf one day. This time I added an ugly, bulky FG wrap around the connection, which should stand up to anything, but makes for a rather ugly repair!
