Canoe with a View : : Canadian Open Canoe forum

Right the time has come along again to top up the kit locker in readiness for a restart in the coming new year

Now my favoured paddle supplier has gone AWOL how do I get my hands on one of these? And...... which one? Or........ Who can make me one

Nice wide blade important at 60" - 62"

Have you tried Endless River?



Biff

Erm googled "very big paddle" lots of choice's including leather one's.... oh er Misses.
Shouldn't the Brookbank Canoe show be on this year? failing that there is the boat and leisure show, there is usually a few canoe shops there.
cheers

According to the CanoeExpo web site there are no plans to run it in 2010!
Shame, I thought it was a good show.

I'd have a go at making one for the price of the wood. BUT 60"-62" WIDE... that's more like a bread paddle for a weekend meet with Warthog and friends!!!

What possible use could one have for that?

On a positive note, it'd help shave some pounds off after a christmas feast!

Now you have got me thinking.
When not out paddling could use it as a surfboard

Mike, I'll take you up on your offer thank you.
Would you like a bottle of something to wash the saw dust away whilst working on it?

Hi Sir J,

I'm sure something can be arranged on a meet sometime

Now, when would you require delivery of said bread paddle so I can plan in the work. Also what wood would thoust prefer? i need to find a good plank or two!

Mike

Excellent start to my new season. March would be great

Wood? Hmmm let's see...........................
Crumbs I don't know
Something off a posh building site?

Got it

Something to match the colour of a fair maidens hair
With a few 'golden' highlights
