TEMPLATEThe Pro B is an all wood paddle, laminated from white pine, basswood and tulip. The lower profile blade is edged in double Ash  bandings, which entirely wrap the lightweight blade. Around 21-22 ounces for 50"er w/ 9" blade. Nice balance and great feel! This paddle is essentially the same as the PS Surge, with the only difference being it has a laminated shaft, while the PS has a solid Tulip shaft --wider blades and longer paddles does add to weight.    Also, layups will differ depending on woods available.   Longer paddles w/ wider blades will be heavier.
