Purging fanaticism & gearslutism II
Posted by: ret603 on Jan-08-13 9:23 PM (EST)

Since being carved at the Skinboat school in 2003, my Aleutian paddle has been my go-to paddle in both canoes and kayaks. It works decent in any canoe or kayak and works super in the Rapidfire canoe and narrower kayaks. You do have to reach an accommodation with paddle drip on windy days.
