I finally figured out why I kept slashing myself with my paddles.
Apparently Strokemaker makes two different sizes of "the green ones" and I ordered the giant-male-Olympian-complete-with-rippling-abs size, instead of the 5'6"-still-kind-of-new-at-swimming size. Who knew size mattered so much?

bahahahaha. My first thought when I saw the 5 on the top of the paddle was "whaaaaat"
ReplyDeletethen I read on.
Just think how strong Rex will be ;)
HAHA. "Paddle" is right. You could paddle a canoe with that sucker!
ReplyDeletethat looks more like a toy to use in the bedroom for spanking than in the pool. Glad you got the smaller ones that won't beat you up.
ReplyDeleteI see a fabulous repurposing of those as S&M implements. Go forth and paddle paddle paddle :)
ReplyDeleteAnd...OMG, @failedmuffins and I think the same.
ReplyDeleteyup. that'll give you a workout all right. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL whew those ae some big paddles!
ReplyDeleteEasy there Michael Phelps!
ReplyDelete"To any guy, 14 inches is only this <"..."> BIG!" -unknown
ReplyDeleteYou CANNOT be serious. I heart you. Now go throw those paddles AWAY!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start asking you to lift your shirt to show me these rippling abs of steel. Mine just ripple... with fat.
ReplyDeleteNice! For me it took me a while to figure out why I kept getting bruises from swimming, it was because I kept hitting the lane lines with my arms while I was swimming!
ReplyDeleteSize always matters. People say it doesn't, but it does. But...big is not always better as you learned from the paddles.
ReplyDeleteI thought you like them big
ReplyDeleteI f'n knew it. I knew it all along that size matters and women were always just lying......Damn!
ReplyDeleteBahahahhaha, sorry, but that thing is massive!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but I HAD to laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been told size does matter! HA
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got this sorted out before blowing out both your shoulders
ReplyDeleteI'm basically a hand paddle whore. I love themmm. Glad you got it all figured out. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, those are ridiculous!!!
ReplyDeleteYou muppet!!
ReplyDeleteA+ for Beth's comment. Also, you should have posted the twitter conversation.
ReplyDeletePaddles?!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, swimming just got even more complicated.
If you are going to use them for S&M perhaps the small one would also be better. Just saying. Oouchiiiiii.
