I have traveled twice by air carrying my Kevlar Werner paddle in a really nice protective canvas bag, while it protects the paddle quite well in its separated compartments, there is nothing to protect me from abuse. You see, it never occurred to me before the first flight (with many legs) that it looked like a rifle case. I have been accosted by everything from animal rights activists to airline pilots, various airline employees to passengers that want to know how I "got that thing past security" No, If I must go by air they will go "bare bones".

Hi Pat, I wouldn't have imagined that problem either, but now that you tell the story, it's a lot more probable than people's nail clippers being confiscated.... Next time I travel with paddles, I'll wrap them in transparent bubble wrap -- and thank you!

I suspect that it would have to be checked on, though last night I saw a guy walk on w/ a fender stratocaster. I'd call the airlines to see if you even could. two pence-rob g. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
