Hey Marcel, 3pc paddles are really good now and usually stiffer then 1pc paddles, but heavier. I have just finished a review of the Starboard Velocity which is a very nice paddle and could be perfect for what you want.
I guess the biggest down side with 3pcs is the extra cost over 1pc paddles. Theres a few videos about paddles coming out over the next few weeks. Have a watch but any other questions after please ask..
thanks Reuben

Looking forward to the actual real life comparisons as I’m in the market to buy a top of the range medium/longer distance touring paddle. Not sure about a 1 piece vs 3 piece though due to expected travel to paddle locations. BP website mentions SynergyX in 3 piece, but it doesn’t show as a buying option (yet?). Would like to understand trade-offs in terms of stiffness at this end of the spectrum. I would imagine delta’s are way smaller than for budget ranges?
