Don’t throw your paddle! - Cian Butterly

Throwing your paddle is rarely a good idea, and most situations where we tend to throw our paddles are easily avoidable. Our paddle is an incredibly important tool and throwing it can have some not-so-great consequences. 

When we’re getting out of our boat in a more difficult place it’s tempting to throw our paddle away so that it doesn’t get in the way as we climb out. But what if we slip? What if we end up going downstream in our boat? A paddle is pretty useful in this situation. The best bet is to place the paddle on the shore within easy reach in case we end up going somewhere we don’t want to. 

Your paddle is your friend and if you abuse it then it won’t be there forever. The more rocks you hit with your paddle, the more times you chuck it onto shore or slam it on your boat. The more likely it is that one day, when you really need it, it will break. 


Basically look after your paddle and it will last much longer. And it will be there when you need it.
