Re: WTB break down paddle

Thanks Mgood, I actually need the paddle to kayak in Ecuador, and am unhappy about the $70 charge each way that a traditional paddle is going to cost me.

It doesn't look we'll be coming up for Surf/Turf because the release is so short. It's hard to justify drive 4+ hours each way, when the A/C went ...
