RE: [Paddlewise] Where to get a cheap spare paddle

Hi Evan and All,

Post a notice on some of the used boards like at www.wakayakclub.com.  You
might also call PWS as they sometimes have some used 2 pc paddles.  You can
get a new clunker for $50 but I want a good quality spare on long trips.

You are right about breakage of modern paddles being an anomaly, more often
a paddle is lost to tide or some other form of pilot error.

Of course there's always my favorite method of getting a spare; designate
your current paddle as the spare and go treat yourself to a brand new stick.

Cheers,

Rob
