: Converting that to US dollars (~$78), that's only about double what it costs
: me here in NH. When you think about it, $39 each is still pretty cheap for
: paddles. You can't even get a "trashmo" aluminum shaft/plastic
: blade paddle for that.

True. Think I'm now ready to hand over the cash for the paddles but I would like to start on a stripper next year (they do look good). Might get Nicks book now and work out just how much cedar I'll need (and what the damage to my wallet will be).

But maybe I'll take the cheaper option and buy a Porsche instead :)
