| - | After selling my 3 old paddles last month, I wanted to replace them with one really good adjustable paddle. After seeing Simon's Onno paddle and the easy lever-lock for adjusting the length, I set out to purchase one. This wasn't easy at first because Onno is like a one- person company and I couldn't get a response back from him (Patrick Onno)for a two-week period. Turns out that he was moving his factory (garage)and had not hooked up to the internet just yet. Finally, I connected with Patrick and my paddle arrived exactly 9 days later. So my paddle arrived last night and I compared the blade size to my small Epic. It was actually larger than the Epic small mid-wing and only a little smaller that the Epic midwing. It's larger than one and smaller than the other so maybe it has it's uses. The quality of construction was as good as any other paddle. I actually wanted to say that it was as good as a Mark Porter constructed Epic and not a Chinese made Epic, but I held my tongue. | + | After selling my 3 old paddles last month, I wanted to replace them with one really good adjustable paddle.

| So this morning I met up with 2 locals which I will refer to as Rick and Marc (I don't want to use their last names in order to hide their identity). We set out to paddle around Lummi island at 0830 this morning with some really superb conditions. We went counter clockwise from the Gooseberry store parking lot and immediately I noticed that there was a 'creepy factor' when I was alone on the water with them. I was rather proud of my new paddle and it seemed to be working quite well as we traveled across Hale's Pass. | So this morning I met up with 2 locals which I will refer to as Rick and Marc (I don't want to use their last names in order to hide their identity).
