[Paddlewise] How i propel myself

Seems nearly every manufacturer and style is well represented.

For myself (open water touring) I use a lightening ultralight split 
(carbon, nearly weightless) and switch off to a regular lightening 
seatouring. My partner uses a lightening ultralight one piece exclusively.

I bought the split so i could bring my own paddle on trips involving air 
travel where i might rent a kayak. But so far the greatest advantage was 
when i was paddling under some of the piers along Manhattan's West Side 
and suddenly ran out of room. I took the paddle apart and was on my way 
again.
