Tower Hamlets Canoe Club

Does anyone have any views on what to white water kit we could do with buying for the coming year?

Please let me know before next Tuesday's spending meeting (which is after paddling).

Thanks,

Emma.

Enough air bags to ensure two per whitewater boat.

A stock of spare bungs. Some foam and bits for general seat mending.

A Liguid Logic Remix or two (I can dream) or maybe check for a second-hand Little Joe/Heffe?

BTW: How old are the club throw lines? 

Boats for us larger paddlers! Especially seen as the GTXs are no more :-(

I agree with Yatesy that boats for bigger paddlers are an issue.  The GTXs are great for large blokes on the river and on the basin, are inexpensive enough for us to afford a few, and no so glittzy that they deter people from buying their own river runner.

I also think we should buy a couple of G-force 6.1 and 6.3s to expand availability of payboats.  They are cheap and chearful too!

Hi,

 Dont know if its too late but this [wikipedia:Eskimo] Salto looks good at £450 and I am pretty sure the guy would take less.  Its new and has the thigh braces fitted, plus the are bomber strong, which is great for begginners who would likely let her swim the river on her own a few times...
