Default carbon fiber paddle

Appreciate for any pointers.

If you mess up with epoxy, the paddle is ruined. I'd use a (relatively) high
temperature hot glue. You don't want something that will soften in the summer
sun. You might have to look around to find something a bit better than craft
store hot glue.

You can use heat to set the paddle blade position and if it isn't right, you can
use heat to change it. Once cool, the glue should hold fine - there's likely a
lot of surface area to hold.

Hot glue is used to hold baskets on carbon fiber ski poles all the time.
