Anyone seen or tried a paddling aid called RealWiiings. They had an add in one of the latest surf mags. Website realwiiings.com

They look really kooky. I reakon you'd look like batman :!:

But curious if they actually work.

i'd buy some and find out if they weren't so expensive. I'll make my own....perhaps. :?

Could seriously do with some paddling aids on my scrawny arms though.

I bought some hand paddles that swimmers use for swim practice. Just a form of resistance training, but at the moment I find paddling hard enough. I just need to stop being a lazy swine and go out and practice paddling on flat days.

Hey guys these things really work once you figure out how to put them on - they have helped me catch waves when I have been off the mark and you can get into the barrel quicker as well! Paddling in a rip is too eezy don’t know how they actually do it but you don’t seem to get more tired?
I see they have a special on their website I might just go 4 it some of my mates are getting a little p*ssed that I am catching more Waves !!!

I asked a life long surfer about these. He said, "If you use those, everyone will think you are a kook." That is all I needed to know about Realwings.
