James,

I've got a folder and purchased a 4-piece bent shaft
Lendal (Paddlok system, carbon fiber shaft, nylon
Nordkapp blades) to use as my euro/travel paddle. I
don't use my Lendal often, but as far as euro paddles
go, this has been my favorite.  Unfort.,  one of my
blades is frozen to the shaft, so my 4-piece paddle is
now a 3-piece.  I left the paddle assembled last
winter and when I tried to take to take it apart last
Spring, it was stuck together.  No worries, though,
b/c I don't like lugging my folder with me to an
airport, so a 3-piece works fine.

If you do get a Lendal, I bought mine with a group of
people I met through this list and recieved a BIG
discount on the paddle.  It might be worth a try
again.

Hope this helps.
