Right now I’m testing out a prototype wood canoe paddle that weighs 13.8 ounces on my scale. It feels feather light in the hand. It’s stiff but has just enough flex to feel good. Plus it looks really sexy. More to come as I test this paddle throughout the summer.
Here are a few pictures:

count me intrigued. How thin is the wood on the blade? With the carbon layer it could be really thin.

It’s about 1/8th of an inch. They made it crazy thin, but with the carbon it’s solid.

I’m not sure how much I can say about the paddle at this point. It’s made by Sanborn Canoe. There’s some interesting stuff going on on the shaft, but other than that it’s a prototype that I’m testing for them to give them feedback.
