Post by: RedLeader on June 07, 2009

I'm after a wooden canoe paddle, preferrably not too expensive. Where's good to buy online and can anyone recommend makes?

Cheers

I would like to make myself one cos i cant seem to find paddles for a weakling shortie! :o

Seriously though i have seen ones on ebay, www.songofthepaddle.com and i think that coast and creek ballymoney can order in but i don't know how long they take to get ones in. :)

I got a wooden beavertail paddle from Tisos in Belfast for £35. Sorted!

Yes.  On the right hand side as you walk towards High Street (it's beside Dunnes)

Paddle turned out to be spot on - I had a quickie at Minnowburn last night. I'm well pleased for £35.

Tisos is a great shop but I sometimes think they can be a bit pricey.
