Frosty paddle in the core of Kitchener, Ontario. Just a 300 m portage to the LRT stop. Not that I would enter the LRT with a canoe!

I’ve been designing and building paddles. I’ve downsized each time and have ended on one that is 7.8oz which is less than 4 large eggs. Soon I test and it might fall apart—which would still be a fun pushing of the envelope.

Morning paddle in my 11.6lb canoe.
Thanks for the great question.
20 gauge vinyl. One of the coolest parts is seeing the water, actually flow over the surfaces at the front of the canoe.

I decided not to exclude this cedar knot from my canoe paddle blade.
It was once the foundation of a branch that reached out to support the growth of the entire tree. It helped the rest of the wood grow strong.
