Is that anti-pimping ?

so we can only have good reviews on stuff.....I guess thats why nut swinging is so popular around here....


just to clarify, it was the type with the white blade and a small half circle cut out of the bottom of the blade

Sounds like a fibreglass blade, is it? If so, a budget item not intended to be compared with the best paddles going around. But I can imagine it would feel pretty average in comparison.

Was it the little kids paddle with the yellow plastic blade?

DJ

no but I was on a little kids yellow board (8.4) hahahahahahah

Makaha...I did prone paddle back out a little bit due to strong onshore/side winds....but alas my back didnt agree

oh and Rob is awesomeness!!!!!! (is that better)




btw can more people red thumb my first post.....I want to see that puppy bright red, ready to explode

The new 2012 Naish paddles are soooooo much better than any past Naish paddles.. I use the 8" blade in the adjustable when I was in Merimbula and I loved it.. I liked the skinny shaft and the flex but those not used to the flex might find them a bit soft.

I guess husq didn't like it and only fair to mention imo.

time to man up husq,ditch the paddle and become a real surfer

The new 'real surfer' carries a paddle and he's proud of it.
The old 'real surfer' is long gone.
A changing of the guard perhaps.
Eventually you will see the light my friend.

I think its great how doggie shares all his aids with the sup forum.

Walking frame ( old and buggered )

The Boat Trailer ( weak cant carry his board )

The Donkey ( blind as a bat only means of transport )

Surely if you want to be taken seriously with your comment you should go on to explain why it was so bad.
Just saying it was bad doesn't cut it, explain yourself of don't say anything at all.

The word naish should say it all

That's ok, as long as you red thumbed me.......btw, unless you explain yourself, I'm not to take you seriously.........and after all this is serious stuff!

go fishing some where else

a tradesman should never blame his tools

this whole flare up could been avoided with music

Sorry my bad, 7.0. Either way it was the Alana paddle.

Ok to add to my "review" of this.

The adjustment was great, once locked into position it just stayed there. But the adjustment point just seemed to be in the wrong spot for me, I kept hitting it with my hand, meant I needed to adjust my normal stroke which I prob would have got used to over time. Overall the paddle didn't feel balanced at all, unlike my QB which seems to have a nice even weight distribution, this paddle didn't, which didn't feel good to me. And it just didn't offer the power I was expecting, even taking into account the small blade size.

Like I said, If I knew no better I may have thought it was great, it is certainly well made and does the job we bought it for great - paddle for my sometimes paddler wife and for friends to use when having a go. But wouldn't be on my list of recommendations for someone who paddles more often. I should point out I am also comparing it to a paddle they is $200 more expensive, I really have to comparison point of a similar price. Maybe at that price point it is a fantastic paddle also.
