Soar off using paddles (4)
I believe the answer is:
oars
'paddles' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'soar off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'soar' is an anagram of '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" .)
