Robson Green Paddles For Sale
« on: December 15, 2010, 09:28:30 »
Hey guys, wanna upgrade to longer paddles but can only do so if I can sell my Robson Green Blades.

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?

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.

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...
