Charity Ebay Auction for wood stand up paddle.

Filed under: SUP — SUP Matt @ 3:07 pm

I recieved this email from Bob Babcock the other day, he has created some amazing looking wooden paddles which he is currently auctioning on ebay in the US.  He has said he would be happy to ship to the UK.  Its for a great cause (save the children) and with almost $2 to £1 its a great chance to get a wood paddle at a great price and help out a cause.

The email is as follows :

Hello,

I’m hoping you can do me a favor. I’ve built a SUP “art” paddle that I will be auctioning off in the coming weeks on eBay. All proceeds will go to the charity Save the Children. You can see more details of the charity fundraiser here

I built two paddles originally, one for my brother as a gift, the other for me. I decided that my paddle is just too heavy for everyday use and at the same time was trying to think of ideas for the fundraiser. I finally decided to add some artwork to the paddle and use it to help the cause.

You can see the artwork here:

The blogs of the paddle building are here:

I have one more coat of varnish to put on and then I’ll be posting the finished project on Lumberjocks, Ponohouse (brother Bill’s blog) and the auction on eBay.

Hope you can help spread the word.

Best Regards,
Bob Babcock
