Skate paddle version 1.3

Saw this online, a company called Big Kahuna out of Oahu sells them. The bottom of theirs is more or less like mine, but I think they used a rubber softer than anything I could find. The slider (/brake) was our idea, we're hoping to be able to lean into turns on the slider...We'll see how it holds up. It's still a work in progress. Ours is about 5'5, that seems really long at first, but once you get going it almost feels like a bit longer would be nicer. Anyhow, it's pretty fun and it's supposed to be a good work out (especially with another person usually sitting on the front.)
