That broken paddle was an eye opener for me, now I will actually pay attention to what I'm doing. I did get an inexpensive (Sunbeam) postal scale and the two pieces weighed 1lb-7.1oz. My euro paddles weigh between 2lbs-6oz and 2lbs-12oz. The Greenland stick had too much flex and was not enjoyable to paddle with. Time to build another. :D
