[Paddlewise] broken paddles

Speaking of broken paddles, an instructor (who works at a retail shop)
recently was telling me that he had never seen a two-piece paddle break
in the middle, and that they were actually stronger than one-piece
paddles due to the inner sleeve that holds them together. I had always
assumed that one-piece paddles were the strongest. Any thoughts or
experiences out there?

surf without any problems.)
