My adjustable paddle came off of the hanger on the wall in the wind the other day, the blade is fine but the "c" push clip for adjusting the length of the paddle cracked and is going to break if I use it too much. Any suggestions on where to get a new clip or how to best repair? I have emailed the shop hoping for a new clip but have not heard back from them yet.
Most of the time they are just windsurf boom clips so shouldn't be to hard to find if you as a shop that does windsurf equipment. Some tape around it should keep it working until then
As stated, that would be a windsurfing boom C-Clamp. If you're in Perth, Surf Sail Australia (Cambridge St) is probably best. But be warned, there are many variation of the same looking C-Clamp and they are all slightly different.
All else fail, remove the clamps, measure your right length, and cut and epoxy it to be a fixed paddle.
If that clip has a pin that locates the shaft, just wrap some a few layers of tape around the clip to hold it in place, the pin will still do its job. this has lasted for months for me
