Paddles :D
Diarmuid:
Try all the paddles, every shape, size, length, brand, model and material you can get your hands on.
If you like some, try them again.
If you still like them try find out about their general reliability for not breaking and shit (ask people, Google, etc).
If they still look good i think there's a pretty decent chance they'll suit you.
Zog:
I'd just like to stress to take your time in the whole process and don't feel rushed into the decision, i was looking for paddles since last summer and I only got mine at Christmas, but I got a really good deal! What's for you won't go by you and like Diarmuid said, try everything you can. :)
canoekev:
Diarmuid do you have rough stuff paddles? Does anyone know have they gone out of business? Also what brand are the 'good' club paddles.. you know the black ones that are fairly banged up
Aoife S:
Yup Diarmuid has RoughStuff, yep they've close down and yep they're rough stuff if I'm thinking o the same ones as you :)
As far as I know there's only a certain generation of RS paddles worth getting because the rest have shafts that break very easily...the older the paddle the better as far as I know :)
Diarmuid:
Rough stuff no longer exist.
You can usually pick them up a decent bit cheaper than other second hand paddles though.
Some types of rough stuff are inclined to break a bit easier than the average paddle. But I feel like the ones that are are probably already broken this stage so you probably won't come across them.
My rough stuff's are bomber. As are most others I hear of.
Adventure Technology seem yo be getting a few returns recently. That said they seem to be pretty good at replacing, though the replacements are not always good either apparently (eh Andrew? ).
