Hey guys, wanna upgrade to longer paddles but can only do so if I can sell my Robson Green Blades (http://www.robson.cz/whitewater-paddles.htm).
They're 188cm long, in fairly good nick, like I say only reason i'm tryin to sell em is they just too damn short for me.
Perfect for a smaller person who wants a decent pair of blades, Infinitely better then Club blades.
Comes complete with "Conor Croke is Gay" scribing.
Looking for €80 for the bad boys. Oh and if I can't get a good deal on another pair of blades I won't be able to sell em.
Oh and also, I am hence in the market for a new pair of blades. Want something more for river running and shit, i.e. lots of power any1 any suggestions/advice?
-
You wanna buy my players? €100
-
What length? And probably not :-(
-
i love rough stuff. (ra ra roughstuff are shit. werner. my paddles are better then urs ra ra ra) now thats out of the way no one needs to say it. i prefer kinetics to tempests plenty of power in them.
-
What length do u use dave?
-
i think its about 190? my tempests are mega long though. believe it or not when i bought them we thought id be about 6foot 6. how wrong can you get ;D :(
-
My studs were 192 and my werners(which are better than rough stuff in every way only kidding buying roughstuff supports irish jobs) are 194 i think not sure but I thought the studs were the best blades I ever had but they are also the only pair of studs I've heard getting broken. Put into the trailer then had the lid dropped on them. I like my werenrs but would go for a shorter lenght next time due to lenght of the blade face. Why do want them longer?

man up and use your hands...
80 yoyo's is a GREAT price!! Freshers get a try of them and BUY BUY BUY!!! i think my paddles are 192...they are, some might say, just a little short... but when their shorter you use your core more... 8)
i have studs as well...and of all the paddles i tried are by far my favourite!
-
Yeah when they're shorter u use more strokes and lean forward as well i've heard so basically you should get the shortest blades you can possibly still reach in to the water with.
-
man up and use your hands...
my paddles are 192
So not manning up and using your hands then Eoghan?
-
if they are to short though theyre well... too short, rog your very tall.
-
Ha indeed, And 188cm is very small...
-
My players are 194cm I think. I'll sell them to ya if you want them. €100 :)

Matt's players have been WHITTLED down to perfection. I haven't tried many paddles but I love my Players, however, I do quite like Eoghans Studs. They have a different feel to them, they seem to have a weight behind them when paddling whereas the Players just seem to be light all the time. I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining it.
-
Matt's if you see have morphed into a player sherpa mutant baby, which i reckon will be the next shape werner launch, giving you the best flexibility between river running and playboating style of blades etc etc
I had a pair of galasports once, they were nice. Turns out black is a shit colour for blades...
