Any idea where to get them as not part of a kit? All I've been able to find is something called SAM Splints which is a strip of bendable aluminum about 4" wide padded with a thin foam and rolled up. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

I just bought a SAM splint. I've heard they're really good.

I suppose in certain instances you could use your paddle float. Since I take aspirin to prevent blood clotting, I bleed like hell when cut so I carry extra gauze pads to apply as clean pressure points. I've been told sanitary napkins would really be great but don't have the nerve to go buy any. Besides, I'm confused enough wearing a skirt when I go paddling. Geeze, ya don't think I'll like being paddled soon, do ya? Sure hope this 'yak stuff isn't a degenerative process. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
