Hi Patrick, My full time spare paddle is a Greenland storm that rides on the starboard side of my fore deck. It's not nearly as ugly as a split Euro in this position and actually looks good, almost authentic. If I really need to carry a spare Euro, like for a long club trip for rough water, it always rides aft of my cockpit. If you've worked out your half paddle / broken paddle roll, then the back deck is not a bad place to keep the spare and you can forgo the foredeck placement. I have never needed to access my spare in haste, so maybe I've grow complacent.
