I bought this paddle from the guy that never took it apart and didn’t care about it too much, except may be the price. First, I had to fix big crack in one of the wing blades. The paddle was perfect for canoe paddling, but a little too long for kayak. Two weeks ago I made it the right length by shortening one of the connection pieces by 6 inch. Both parts on the photo were originally the same length. Now it’s exactly right and ready for Patagonia. It was interesting and challenging project.

Patagonia team paddling training.
In two days we will go for 24 hours paddling training in Chesapeake Bay. I just hope the weather will more like Patagonia and less like today’s 60+ F. For the training I just finished modifying and testing my 5 piece paddle.
