For those of you who do multi day, boat loaded down, kayak trips what type paddle do you use and why? Happy thanksgiving Bob >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I primarily use the Lendal paddles with the Paddlokk system. Lendal has some great blade designs, though the key for me is that I can vary the shaft length or the blade composition with the day's planned paddle. The paddles break down for travelling, be it a hatch for a ferry ride, or an airplane ride very, very nicely. The Paddlokk system keeps the sections from moving at all. The system is dependent on the Allen key, so now I have that key in both PFDs pockets. Some do not like it for that reason, but the versatility is something I've grown to appreciate. The only other paddle that has a seductive hold on my imagination are the beautiful wood paddles I see in ads or in pix from paddlers.
