Cricket has a 2-piece (they call it a take-apart)  Greenland paddle.

I own several Betsie Bay Greenland paddles which I like a lot, but the 
take-apart ones aren't very easy to take apart.  In fact I often find it 
nearly impossible to take it apart, even on dry land with lots of 
leverage.  So as much as I like these paddles, I can't recommend the 
take-apart ones.  But mine are about 7 years old, so maybe they're not 
like that any more.  And anyway I'm not sure that they build them except 
by custom request.
