seanlarose 0 #1 July 9, 2010 I'm trying to set up a new CP course at our DZ, and I'm wondering where everyone gets their pool noodles from. I used to just find them at the dollar store, etc... but it seems you're generally at the mercy of whatever colours they have in stock. I'm looking for somewhere I can get a good variety of colours so I can make proper speed and zone acc courses. Any ideas? Thanks guys and gals!Sean LR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 July 9, 2010 I only use the noodles as markers for water gates in ZA, the lane for distance and a few ZA land zones (entry into the Zone 1, Zone 5 and the end of the course). Beyond that I use traditional gates. 10ft windblades and 5ft windblades that were built for Texas Swoopers a few years ago by Todd Spillers. In those I use what has always been used, crappie fishing poles. As for the source of the noodles that I use, its whomever has them on sale at the time, be it the Dollar Store, Wal-Mart, Academy, whatever.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

raymod2 1 #6 July 12, 2010 Also, I have noticed that there are two different inner diameters for pool noodles. I've used the smaller inner diameter ones in the past. They are a pain to work them on the PVC pipe but they stay put once you get them on. They are a seasonal item at Walmart so you might be forced to go to a pool store depending on the time of year.
