Final Comment – It’s a stick revolution and I want to be part of it. There are only a small group of us here in Queensland paddling with sticks but the interest from other kayakers after seeing how well they perform is increasing. My spare is an 180cm Aleut Storm Paddle (one piece)
Hey Graham,
I am trying to get some plans for an Aleut paddle so I can make one to compare against my West Greenland paddle. I managed to get one set but instructions are in Italian.
