hobie paddles! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It happened to me too. The blade snapped off while I was trying to land in the surf. FastLane cheerfully replaced the paddle but advised me not to use these paddles in surf. They claimed this kind of usage was considered "abuse" and is not normally covered by Hobie's warranty.

With this recommendation in mind, I am working on a device that will teleport me and my loaded kayak to and from the beach without having to break out the paddle. All I will have to do is press a button and say the phrase "Beam me up Scottie".
