PADDLE TIDE · LOCAL LIBRARY · 25 MI

Register the paddle you use, then make the shelf visible.

Players can list their profile, DUPR handle or link, usual court, current paddle, and what they would trade, lend, try, or donate into a neighborhood library. First pass stays close and simple.

NOUN BUOY SHELF

trial, loan, trade, return

Try-before-trade

Meet at a local court and play one warmup game before anyone swaps anything.

Best for players who are paddle-curious but do not want another blind buy.
Library loan

A short loan from the community shelf, logged by name, date, and expected return.

Best for beginners, visiting friends, and UES Court Craft sessions.
Trade shelf

List what you use, what you would move, and what kind of feel you are chasing.

Best for players with one paddle too many and a specific wish.
DUPR-ready match

Record a DUPR handle or profile link now; real login can be added after API access is confirmed.

Best for pairing test games by approximate level without over-formalizing the exchange.

PROFILE REGISTRY

A v0 profile you can fill out now.

This stores only in this browser for the prototype. The shape is the useful part: the eventual backend can lift these exact fields into a shared roster after the first real profiles exist.
