looking to buy....

[holly]

a paddle! (or an ore as my dad still insists on calling it)

basically im trying to get my own kit before going on erasmus as hopefully people will be more likely to take me out.

i dont know very much about the whole paddle scene, so was just wondering if anyone has one they want to sell as people on this board seem to have multiple sets of kit!

i'll pay good enough money for one. i dont know if im around or not for the summer (exam results pending) to have time to go into manic research about the whole thing.
im pretty easy about what type. please dont take advantage of my ignorance! (hence not posting on irishfreestyle)

thanks a mil, love hol x

to pre-empt  Mr C

oar= instrument for conveying floating craft along the surface of water

ore= metallic substains, eg. iron ore on the game settlers

love you baby

Ahem, to clarify,
It is improper to call a paddle an oar.

Oars are fixed to a fulcrum on the boat known either as an oarlock or via pins and clips. Oarlocks allow the oar to be pulled into the boat slightly and then feathered.

Guess who has any exam 2moro morning........... :roll:

hey hols im rite there with ya
my brother got a set of Black Magic and he seems to like em....but i think thats coz the colour matches his boat(im actually serious on that one :shock: )
i used tempests in the alps last year and thought they were cool.....Dave "pro boater" Bynre swears by em
is say there will be lots of paddlin between now and alps.....even if its just dun laoighre , just ask people to have a go for a while...doubt they wud mind............
wot kind were the blades that kept breaking last year?

il b going shoppin for some in d next week or two so il give ya a shout and we can head into GODs....skelly can b our shop assistant :lol:
