on a further note, if someone broke one of my paddles, bending branches rock guard tip bent-shafts, i would certainly kill them. therefore i could use their paddle if i needed the spare.

HA! Good one!
How's it going Jax? Read your trip report......sounded like a good time.

I looked at the bending branches paddles in Piragis when in Ely last month. They felt nice. I'll probably get one even though I'm still in love with my Zav (although I can easily picture doing 10 or 12 hours with the bending branches too). Perhaps I'll start out using it when I'm fishing....the wind wants to take my Zav away at times.
