Thanks  for the warning. I've also had paddle blades break when  practising
paddlefloat assisted reentry and rolls in flat water. A  combination of
making the roll fairly slow, only blowing up half the bag  and using a
stronger paddle seemed to fix the problem.

I've since stopped using deck rigging for fixing the paddle to the kayak.  
Instead, I grip the cockpit rim with my hand and the paddle shaft, hop up on the 
 rear deck, slide in and call it good.
 
Cheers,
