Well I got my replacement Lendal shafts. Of course working at Rutabaga, they trust my story LOL! Yet I can see how hard it could be for someone to go into a shop and say, “they just broke” and have the shop understand and not think you sat on the thing. It does not help when there are dishonest people out there just trying to get a free replacment for their own silliness. But I know there are times when I think I should have documentation and witness statements!So today I was thinking, for all you honest types out there who have legitimate problems with gear. . . I feel for you. .
As Red Green says, “We’re all in this together!”

Want a fool=proof paddle? What about that cast iron Greenland paddle…? No need to make up a ‘homwork’ story for it! LOLm
What a timely post as I’m battling Valley right now for a replacement seat for my Aquanaut. Its not going well. How can you crack a seat through abuse? RonO & Alex you need not answer that. You would think that with the meteoric rise of ‘word of mouth’ advertising (the biggest user is P&G) that companies would become a bit more user friendly.

I’ve broken 2 Lendal shafts. I’m now using the good 1/2 from each of the 2 broken ones. I’ve now officially stopped doing G-style extended paddle manuvers with my Lendal.
I’ve heard lots of stories about Lendal paddles breaking. I guess that is the price we pay for super light paddles.
Just keep that heavy paddle on the deck as a spare and switch to the spare for rolling practice, extreme rough water, polo or other hi-jinx:-)

I had to laugh reading this post, Derrick. I cannot tell you how many sales clinics I have presented where every time I said “shaft”, there was that one guy who was stuck in proverbial puberty, that would giggle in a very Beavis & Butthead manner mumbling, “She said shaft”. At which point I would stop and say, “Okay, let’s all say ’shaft’ as many times as we can so we can all get it out of our system.”
You were that guy, weren’t you? Ironically, you posted this on my last day as the Lendal girl. So, I got my last dose of the shaft nonsense. Your timing….. impeccable!
Hey Megan!! The tough part was not going too over the top! There are just so many ways play with a word like shaft! (not that’ll start a new conversation. . .)
All my hopes for your future endeavors of course. We won’t say anything about the past one . . . oh, but speaking of shaft. . .
