I did the handle the way I it was when I bought the paddle and the way the seabreeze forum guy showed it.
If you like it the other way, go for it.
I'd like to see how it feels.

Thanks Michael,
Maybe I'm wrong.. but I and everyone that I know has the handle with the curve fitting into your palm and the flat across your fingers..It seems more ergo that way.. Maybe there's no right or wrong way.
Here's some info that I post…
Thanks, I'm going to try it. I've got a paddle I want to lengthen ;-)

The operating temperature of the epoxy is 200 degrees F.
The stuff doesn't melt, it just loses its bonding strength.
Not entirely as I had to really twist the handle hard to get it off.
I heated it for maybe 5 minutes. The hair dryer gets it…
That's a really good idea, I hadn't realised that the glue would melt like that. How long were you heating it up for? I'm assuming carbon is ok with getting hot?

The Kialoa paddle blade is angled forward. The curved or ( of the handle should be pointing toward the front. Does that make sense? To make sure it is perfectly aligned, epoxy it and then lay the paddle on a flat surface, paddle blade down and…
"Remember, the curved side of the handle toward the blade of the paddle."
Please explain... Thanks
