Hi,
Backcountry had a real good sale on these so I ended up buying two. Problem was, they only had somewhat non-standard sizes for me--either alittle too big (240) or alittle too small (210)--SO I bought a 240 and a 210 for my tandem kayak.
I took a half from each and put them back together...now I have two 225s...I took some colored electrical tape to mark center on each (since the seam is no longer center). They fit fine...they look fine...they should be as strong or stronger than seam in the center...any downside to this approach??

It should work just fine for you with these paddles. I would caution others, that some paddles (like Werner) have slight elongation places for your hands. If you tried this approach with those paddles, your grips would be off center.
