What kind of paddle do you have (brand, how many pieces does it break down to)? I have seen some kits where you can turn a 1 pc into a 2 or 3 pc much like how Terry said. Here's a few links:

I know that I have seen another one, but I can't remember where. If you get a conversion kit, don't buy it online if possible, but go to a store, since the shaft dimensions may be different.
