Hi everyone, had a great run of waves last week at a beach I used to surf a lot back in the eighties, only small but great shaped waves with beautiful clean water.
Sundays surf turned out a little expensive as I broke my spare Star-board Enduro paddle when paddling for my last wave of the day. There was a slight offshore wind, nothing to strong and I had not even caught the wave when the paddle shaft broke in two and the clamp also exploded.
The shaft broke right where the two would have met just below the end of the clamp. And yes there was plenty of overlap.
Anyone else had an issue like that?
I say it was my backup paddle as a few weeks ago I also snapped my one piece Star-board Enduro. I believe that one died taking on the rail of my Sunova REVO on a late take off gone wrong. No marks on the board and I did not feel anything until I stood up to paddle back out, only to have the feeling of holding a limp noodle
Two dead Enduros...
I had been looking around for a new one piece Enduro, but they are nowhere in OZ. Just ordered another two piece from Surf FX to tide me over until the one piece ones arrive in stock in a few months.
They are great paddles, just hope that's all the breaking I do for awhile.
Cheers.
Steve.
