It just a thought - use alpine ski bags. You can carry them thru
airports and put them on top of your car. Hmmm.

I have a buddy who lost a $400.00 paddle off his suv. Thought about
investing in one of those thule or yakima hardshell cases. But they take
up allot of room. Not sure how the thule hullivator will work with paddles.

I sometimes put my (Nicer ) paddle in a hard shell gun case . It gets
some curiosity at the airport but that is all. I tie my paddles to the
top of the car when traveling and I can't put it in the car.
Note... Don't use bungies on paddles on the roof. I lost two paddles at
high speed and had to hike back to recover them. They were scratched
but otherwise no worse for the increadible journey i saw in my rear
view. I was luckey that traffic was very light.

I try to keep the paddles inside the car as they can vanish.
