so back along long time ago
when we first really started using a big sand scoop
we kicked off
with wooden shafts
these are laminated
and covered
with non slip heat shrink vinyl
as you may have seen before in a previous video
rubber washers
up and down the shaft
hand grip
ribbed for extra sensation
that was a wooden one a laminated one
good option laminated wood
we then tried when we discovered composites
fiberglass
we didn't cover this
with non slip
bicycle handlebar tape
really soft
really spongy
and nice when its wet
went with a D handle
give you some extra pull
I've seen in the STATES a lot of people use straight ones
straight pull handle
seems a lot better than that
but we can't seem to get hold of them in the UK
hardwood dowel
and glued it in as i had a lot of problems with it flexing
but the problem if you look at this
that is what you call a disaster
that's my day over
so on that bomb shell
I'm going home
put a new shaft on
wonder what was at the bottom of that
it got that much flex on it it snapped
this has snapped twice now
again back to the old days
was the TREX
that was a heavy scoop
brilliant in water
but because of the holes
not awfully good
on dry sand
sand seemed to stick in it if it was slightly damp
didn't come out
we then opted for
a cheap
a lot of people ask me where i got it from but i can't remember
remember when i was in BOURNEMOUTH a while ago
it did split
just there but we had it mended
and that
is one of my goto scoops
brilliant in the wet sand
permanantly doing the wet sand
where its nice and deep
pretty tough going
we go with the EVOLUTION scoop
this one
stainless steel shaft
heat shrink
handle bar tape
and a rubber bung at the end
it drags along
really heavy
only ideal for digging deep
on the wet sand
so the new kids on the block
the SITO Scoops
this one is a smaller one
this is ideal
for dry sand
absolutely phenominal
1 1/2 inch
shaft
so you have to look at
what shafts you can get
hexagonal holes
good in the water
swell but just not the deep black sand
