: Ah, I had one of them type of paddles when I was a youngling
: messing about on floating things. Split a heavy stick, spead the
: ends, put a piece halfway up the split to keep it spread and
: wrap some plastic around the wide part. I used insulating tape
: to hold the wrapping. It didn't last long, about two weeks,
: maybe. Would have lasted years with duck tape.

: Mike Savage
: South West Cork

: That one looks a bit better, though. :D

What would be even neater would be the ability to fold into itself on forward movement, i.e. feather for no drag.
