I guess I'm not surprised by the pricing. I think this Web site http://www.knoydart-kayaking.co.uk/ quotes 11.60 pounds (unless I mis-read it) which is around $18.00. The Importer marks it up, then the retailer marks it up, and off the shelf it goes for about $33.00. Dunno what 1 at a time shipping from the UK would run...

In the UK it's a fraction of the US price. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
