White water “training wheels” I envision these could consist of 4, foot long pontoons; 2 on each side in the rear and 2 on each side in the front, such that none would be near the paddle stroke zone. the pontoons would possibly just touch the water to maybe not touch the water….I may try this myself at some point.
Also really like the DIY carbon paddle someone made, looks awesome
and the self bailer for sure
