Looks pretty handy

Yeah, but you'd probably end up with a better result and probably cheaper if you just sold your paddles and bought a set of ready-made splits.

Also, I wonder how Tom feels about you breaking his paddles.

it looks easy enough but the split kit seems hard 2 find. nah its my spare blades, there really long.
nah gud splits are the same price as a gud paddle.

You might want to add foam inside the shaft of splits to stop them filling with water and sinking if you swim with them.

Having bought 4 sets of RS splits I can't recommend them. Splits should be as good as your first paddle if you plan to be using them yourself.
