Purchase a Northern Lights carbon Greenland paddle, which breaks down into three pieces, the maximum length being just over 92 cm.
It is promoted in the literature as “fitting into your luggage”. That is if you have a "REALLY BIG CASE", it will fit, otherwise it sticks out.
So out of the frying pan and into the fire, so to speak.
The next problem was finding a case big enough.
A chance meeting in a Mountain Designs store, with a lady shopper and her daughter, put me on the right track. She suggested using a wheeled hockey bag – the perfect solution.

Cathy Pacific accepted the case without question, but did insist it was lodged at the "Over Sized" counter after checking in. The advantage of having the paddle contained in the bag is that you don't incur an additional surcharge if it is to travel seperately as sporting goods ie we did have to pay a surcharge with Air New Zealand to get our ski's to Queenstown.
