Let me address each point from >what I have seen (bear in mind again that I neither sell nor produce >them and am just a very satisfied customer who has several other brand >paddlefloats that now seem quite quaint to me): Ralph, et al: I picked up the Gaia paddlefloats from my friend today. I was hoping to re-test them in the pool, but I signed in too late for space last Saturday. On closer inspection, however, I see that the squeeze clip is broken. There are four small holes that the cord runs through, and when the tension is released, the four holes bisect and pinch tight. It appears that one of the holes is broken, so of course it will not pinch and hold the float to the paddle. My friend is elderly, so I'll forgive him his eyesight if you will forgive me for not having more faith in your opinion. Of course, the fact that the clip broke in the first place is another question!
