My 2cent:
1. Footrests for the polo boats. The pool boats were boat without them, it turned into a mission to sort out.
2. Whoever the Nirvana is for the might as well buy airbags with it. ( I don't see the point of buying racing creeker but thats another days discussion ).
3. Please say the Karnalis come with adjustable footrests? I wouldn't assume they do.
4. I thought the club had loads of slings, we win them in varsities and never use them.
5. Same for ropes, thought we had plenty of them. Also Great Outdoors would be cheaper.
6. The carabiners would be cheaper in great outdoors.
7. Those bumper cam straps are a pain in the ass to get through some boat loops. Probably better getting the NRS 6m ones if you can find them without bumpers. ( bumpers seem to be the fashion so I'm not sure you'll find bumperless ).
8. The tubes of the palm airbags will fall off like the old navy airbags we had. Don't buy any palm airbags. Both grades of nylon airbag have the same tube for inflating.
9. Whats a palm universal backband?
10. Desperate Measures in the UK will deliver shogun paddles to Ireland for about 30euro less.
11. Palm knives rust and seize fairly rapidly, wouldn't buy one. NRS knives will last a year longer before they rust and seize.
12. I-canoe would be cheaper for the Lifesystems first aid kit.
Lastly, can the club buy some splits? I would suggest these

Sorry, wasn't expecting to type so much.
