Over the last few years I have used my spare paddle 3 times:
 Once the plasic blade in an alluminium handle started to turn
around,with every stroke.A weird sensation.So I swapped paddles before
loosing the blade.
Twice,to safe an unfortunate member of our party from going home again
because they had left their paddle behind.A very good reason to carry
one even when paddling with a group...
Kia Ora .   Eddie
