     Currently, I paddle a Werner Camano fiberglass, 220cm 60 degree 
     feather paddle straight shaft.
     
     I'm looking to buy another paddle which breaks down. I've been looking 
     at an Epic graphite and a Camano graphite.
     
     I'm looking for recommendations, ideas, and opinions on what to buy.
     
     Thanks in advance,
     
     Dave

I appear to be the only person on the planet who doesn't like the camano, 
I've got a 'glass take apart.

Of our 6 regularly used kayak paddles it is my least favorite.  My 
Lightning Ultralight is my favorite traditional paddle, and my wifes...

As for the camano I don't like the shaft texture, the feel of the blades in 
the water, the weight of the paddle or the durability of the blades, 
other than that it's fine...
