Just finished editing up this little interview I grabbed with EJ, owner/operator of Johnson Big Stick Paddles. I'm pretty blown away by the quality of the paddles EJ is building. The craftsmanship is, frankly, mind-blowing; the guy really knows how to work with wood.
I'm even more excited to get out and paddle the new blade that EJ sent home with me. Check back for a full review of the entry level JBS blade. Until then, check out this little clip I threw together and please forgive me for all the cliche, surfer talk- when I'm at the beach I revert back to my feral state of intrinsic stoke!

Great looking paddles. What were the weight of the EJ big sticks. John, Have you used them yet?. Looking forward to seeing a couple of them in action... I like the milti wood lay-ups. Like a few of my 60's classics boards with milti wood stringers. Awesome EJ.. Thanks John.. Mahalo
Great video awesome paddles.
Hey GJB:
Not sure of the weight- I'll try and get something on it with my bathroom scale. I will say it's lighter than a wooden Kinimaka and heavier than a Whiskey Jack wood paddle. Probably a little heavier than a C4.
It's by no means a heavy club.
I'm going to write up a full report, check back for it!
Thanks for checking it out,
John
Hey Lori!
You forgot one thing: Nice Person!
Don't know if you ever met EJ but he's one of the friendliest, no attitude stand up paddlers on the sand at San-O. If you're in the market for made in the USA, wooden paddles- these are the ones!
Thanks for checking out the blog!
John
