Not trying to market. Just curious of what anyone thinks of the design. Mahalo for the decal Che!

whos the builder? from your photo the fit and finish looks pretty good. It’s a little hard to tell what the bend is… Assume this is the back of the blade?

Is that the front or back of the paddle.

Looks a lot like the Quickblade Kanaha.

The white sticker sure spoils it though.

Be a nice tat for someone.

Ill probly take the white decal off for sure. Actually Rambo, the guy that drew the decal is a tattoo artist here on the Big Island.

And JC9 - If a 10.75” wide paddle is for women then id love to try the mens size!

It is a double bend made here. You guys seem to know the builder better than I as I bought this 2nd hand. I could post more photos if I wont get in trouble.

The paddle is sick for sure but I was more showing the decal.

The paddle is a double bend and to a beginner like me, it feels like im paddling with a snow shovel! It really gets you cruising though. makes for a tough workout for sure.

It was drawn by hand then printed into a decal. Hes done some others with just a sharpie that look just as good but only in black.

Since he’s on Big Island, do you know if he’ll he have a booth to sell decals or anything at the race(s) this weekend?

Shawn Michael,
Now I have that song stuck in my head. Again. But it cracks me up, so that’s ok. :)

And speaking of this weekend, are there any plans for ocpaddler people to meet up anywhere? Other than the ones who know each other already, that is.

Check out this paddle, Che drew this free-hand with a permanent marker, unreal talent. He and his wife owns moku nui apparel and pacific ink tatoos. They will be at the Queen Liliuokalani race this weekend.

Very cool. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for their tent. Maybe some of us will bump into each other there checking out the decals! We will know one another by our smart-ass comments and tight (but fast!) shirts.

An ocp party would be cool, too.

Scotty Hendricks made a set for Kai ÿOpuaÿs Novice A men for the regatta season and they won the Mens A race at States as well. Good job Scotty and Kai ÿOpuaÿs Novice A men.
