[wanted] split paddles

[adrianc]

Know that a 2nd hand split paddles are about as rare as hen's teeth - but by any chance does anyone have a set that's gathering dust which they want rid of / are willing to sell?

[Andrew]

I have a set that splits in 2 that I found, but does not fit in my boat, you can try and squeeze em in yours, but I just don't think they are designed for kayaks somehow.

[adrianc]

Cheers Andy - doubt they will fit in mine either so. Sounds like they were those ones that they sell to people with inflatables or sit-on-tops ...

Adrian,
I-canoe have a set that splits in 4 for €36. I got a set and they are grand for the price and should fit easily in most boats

Just remember Adrian, you get what you pay for.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be paddling down in big water using a €36 set of paddles

[adrianc]

Thanks for that Paul & Johnny, think I might heed Johnny's advice and spend that bit more to have a bit of confidence in the paddle..

[PaulK]

They have a set for €135 but I don't think they are much better than the €36 set. After that you are looking at €310 for Werner's. Might be worth calling Rough Stuff to see if they would make up a set.

perhaps a good set of hand paddles could be the way to go! those werners are better than my own paddles!!

Couple of other options Adrian, from AS Watersports in England.

Cheers for that Pajo, the 2nd link there was to your shopping cart, unfortunately I couldn't use your credit card though!

Was this the 2nd one?

Yep that's them, I was hoping you'd buy them and they'd be shipped to me

Adrian - "Pajo did you get my paddles??"

Me - "what paddles?"

Damn
