Wanted: a NLP loom 15" or greater. I believe they go up to 18". Would prefer a longer length.
The measurement I refer to is not the total length, but the grip length ie a 13" loom is 22" overall.

I'd also consider a whole paddle if the loom was long enough.

I have an NLP. The screw threads pretty much dissolved in salt water despite freshwater rinses after every paddle.
It is now permanently fused together as a one piece paddle.
So I have a surplus NLP storm paddle loom. Perhaps it can be lengthened to meet your needs.
I can leave it at a friends in Campbell River for you, if that helps.
 
Sorry, forgot to ping you when we dropped off the loom. We spent a few lovely days at Discovery Lodge/Surge Narrows, which is off grid. I hope the loom works for you.
 
Did you get some surfing at Surge? There would have been short periods each day when the wave was formed.
 
I had to paddle hard to avoid a whirlpool today, off Quathiaski Cove, during what was only a 6 knot ebb.
A barge wake hit the normally smallish tide race and made it quite chaotic for a while.
It didn't help that I was paddling a SUP instead of a kayak.
