Title: Cutting your paddle
Post by: StrokeItHard on June 12, 2008, 10:38:35 PM
Hi, right now I have a carbon that is too long for me and I want to cut it down an inch cause I scrape the water a little bit during my recovery. Is there any place I can do it? And I still have my warranty with APEX if that makes any difference?

I just finished shortening my Apex Accelerator just the other day.  I ended up ordering a new carbon handle from Apex and cutting my old handle off at the height that I needed and glued the new handle on.  The Apex Carbon handles add very little hight to the paddle, so the length that you cut is pretty much what you end up with.  The contact that I was dealing with at Apex was Melissa,  [email protected].

I used Gorilla Glue to glue the handle back on, amazing glue.
