| - | This past summer I had my older EPIC mid-wing paddle fitted with the new LL2 length lock system by the repair shop in Sumas, WA. (Ed. //Mark Porter the Paddle Doctor who worked for Epic Kayaks is retired. Contact [[:paddles#manufacturersbrands|Epic or your paddle company]] if you are looking for professional repair options//) I had had trouble with the old locking system getting stuck together or slipping while paddling. Yesterday, I finally got around to checking on my paddle after my CG incident on Saturday and was alarmed to find out that the new LL2 system had failed completely. I would recommend that others periodically check their two piece paddles to insure that they aren't slipping. Mine had slipped maybe two or three times prior to Saturday before it finally failed. The EPIC website states that the new system doesn't require maintenance or lubrication, so I'll let you know why it failed as soon as the Sumas shop takes a look at. Dangerous stuff that I hope was just a fluke incident. | + | This past summer I had my older EPIC mid-wing paddle fitted with the new LL2 length lock system by the repair shop in Sumas, WA.
