contact Next Adventure in Portland. They have cheap ones for about $50. Sure they will ship one to you, or come on down and paddle then pick one up on your way out http://www.nextadventure.net - www.nextadventure.net ------------- Tony Z dragorossinorthwest@yahoo.com www.nookiekayaking.us www.dragorossi.com www.donkeyfIip.com |

Well, if you want top of the line, then go with a Select, hand made in France

I'd just like to pass on a quote from Werner's website I wonder if handmade in France is better than handmade in Sultan... ------------- H2O please |

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'd be the first to say how great Werner is...but this paddle will be used to propel a beat-up winsurfing board across flat water...not mank my way down class V. Not a good enough reason to buy a handcrafted, $300 paddle IMO.
Next Adventure didn't have anything in the $50 range.
James, do you still have that broken kayak paddle that I could put a T-grip on?

I bet an old carlile kayak paddle with a t grip would work alright. Select! Who the F is that? I'm no SUPer but if I was looking for a good paddle, I'd stick to a paddle manufacturer, not a windsurf fin company that has jumped on the SUP wagon. Besides, check out select's blurb: Row standing on a surfboard is a new discipline spreading fast. Laird Hamilton, the hawaiian Waterman, indulged himself by crossing the channel on a stand-up surfboard ! Stand-up floats are specific to this technique (important volumes & lengths 12 to 13 feet) to be able to row comfortably and cope with the smallest waves.Silly French, you paddle a SUP Board, not row it.Now if you really wanted a high quality, handmade stick, you might want to head to Ohiopyle and buy Backland a few drinks and see what he can build for Y'ins. And since when does being from France make something better. ------------- "Call on God, but row away from the rocks." ~H.S. Thompson |

Why not buy a raft paddle?
Or keep an eye on the banks behind Wave Wreck, they loose many! ------------- Sure? |

| Ben: I sure do, it's all yours... It would take some work but I think you might be able to get it done. A little wood to carbonfiber transition... |

Thanks for the suggestion guys...I ended up dropping the cash for the Werner paddle. If anyone else is into beginning SUP, hit me up, I've been going to Greenlake a lot and am planning to play around at the takeout eddy of the club run on the MF Snoq soon. Then hopefully a NF Stilly run or Sultan to Monroe etc. What a fun sport and an awesome way to make easy rivers super exciting. |
