Soar off using paddles (4)
I believe the answer is:
oars
'paddles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'soar off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'soar' anagrammed gives 'OARS'.
'using' is the link.
(Other definitions for oars that I've seen before include "Means of propulsion" , "Sculls" , "Implements to propel a boat" , "Rowing blades" , "rows" .)
