What are the best paddles to use to scrape ice?

I use Strokemakers, but they aren't very efficient. Too many curves, not enough straight edges. Brrr.
  • Poolraat: We don't use paddles in MN. I have had the state government enact extensive regulations prohibiting and/or limiting their usage in swimming pools. They also come with warnings and labels and whatnot. We need to avoid any more of those epidemics. :rofl: Yes, I grew up in MN. I was dragged there kicking and screaming for my father's job. Then I was foolish enough to go to his alma mater in NH and then to law school in IL. As a result of all this foolishness, I now cannot bear snow and cold weather. I hate snowmobiling. And because I was so busy swimming, I never learned to ski or ice skate, which is apparently the only fun thing to do outside in cold weather. What school?
  • What school? Good god. Have I not divulged enough personal information on this forum lately? Pretty soon everyone will be able to track me down even though my name does not appear here. Suffice to say that I love Chicago even though it's so freakin' cold. I'll PM you.

I don't do outdoor winter sports either. And the older I get the more I dislike winter. I now know why my parents are snowbirds. Regarding your question about the "G". Either you chose to ignore my dig or you don't follow football.

I hope you don't really root for those guys. Where are you going to retire to get away from the white stuff? No ice for me yet this year. But it will come.

Unless I win the lottery or Megabucks, I'm stuck at this desk until the kids are through school. (Unless I can find a good job for my wife:rofl: :rofl: )

    More importantly are you using correct scraping technique? We wouldn't want you on the shoulder injury thread because of this!!!

    This thread is quite funny. Paddles are for dog paddlers.
