| Discussion 1: When my paddle snapped in half, I unclamped the broken piece (5"long) and put it in my jacket pocket. I then slid the two paddle halves together and attempted to continue my journey. The paddle blades now had the ability to rotate all 360 degrees relative to each other. So I began concentrating on using my hand grip to feather the paddle blades independently: FAIL. I kept spreading my hands appart allowing the two halves of my paddle to come apart. I fell in. Eventually I got to Cheap Beach (between Swell and the Hatch parking) paddling one half of the paddle like an OC paddle and sitting on the other half. | Discussion 1: When my paddle snapped in half, I unclamped the broken piece (5"long) and put it in my jacket pocket.

| + | Hello Larry,\\ | ||
| + | Sounds like fun?\\ | ||
| + | I would suggest getting some deck mounts from North Shore Inc in Hood River. They have two different types. Can be used to attach bungie cords to hold the paddle easier. Or pdf, water bottle or race number tent, etc. Hopefully not all at the same time.\\ | ||

| When I was hit from behind by a windsurfer on a big day in the hatch I lost my paddle, and had to swim in 250 meters or so with the ski. I just hugged the ski with one arm and crawl stroked / kicked. Slow, but stable and steady progress. In that situation I would normally have used my tow line so I could swim properly and just pull the ski, but it was being used as a laundry line at Carter's place. | When I was hit from behind by a windsurfer on a big day in the hatch I lost my paddle, and had to swim in 250 meters or so with the ski.
