Great to hear true craftsman still live.<BR/><BR/>Building paddles is something new to me, as is SUP, but just like SUP, I think the bug is in deep.<BR/><BR/>I've only built two......OK, don't laugh. I know I'll never have the mojo built in that Malama's have. These two are pretty but that's about it. <BR/>http://www.ponohouse.com/ponoblog/?p=265<BR/><BR/>Hopefully by the time I plan on coming back to the island I'll have something worthy of performance and the wall. Just in case the beer is on me too...:)<BR/><BR/>I've seen you a couple of times around Paia pre-sup addiction (mine that is). So I'd put your paddle length at 79-80"?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for a great blog. If I told my friends that I was getting to know some italian guys ankles very well via the web do you think they would consider me odd?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662308320889607633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-66893267200611322162007-09-16T18:15:00.000-10:002007-09-16T18:15:00.000-10:00Hi Bob,here's the only spec of my paddle that I kn...Hi Bob,<BR/><BR/>here's the only spec of my paddle that I know: one shaka sign and a half taller than me...<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't change anything in it. It's a beautiful piece of art made by local master craftsman Malama who shaped also my canoe paddle.cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-4868996421132652722007-09-16T15:22:00.000-10:002007-09-16T15:22:00.000-10:00Sitting in the office....sure rub it in....I didn'...Sitting in the office....sure rub it in....<BR/><BR/>I didn't manage to get out at all today. Had plans to hit the water that got foiled by the dirtiest of 4 letter words....work.<BR/><BR/>GC.. I see you're using a wooden paddle. What are the specs, blade size, length, etc..? Any changes you'ld make if you were going to make one?<BR/><BR/>I figure I'll make you one someday just as a thanks for getting my mind off of work once in awhile...:)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662308320889607633noreply@blogger.com
