Can someone please measure the paddles that come with the 2015 TI? Thinking about adding a cargo box on my trailer and wondering if they will fit in it. Mine won't be here for another couple of weeks. And trying to get everything ready.

Oh? It's 2 halves? That's great. Guess it doesn't really matter then, it'll fit. My whitewater paddles are solid.

Yep, two halves that snap together. You will also get a couple of t-handles in your spare parts bag that convert the paddles into canoe style.

I use a cheap, strong canoe paddle. I gave my new Hobie paddle, which came with my 2015 AI, to Joey Cianciolo when he bought my 2011 AI.

The paddle that came with my 2015 AI has a much stiffer (stronger?) blade than earlier years paddles, but it is still cupped vs a strait blade.
