    I am thinking of buying a second hand fibre glass bladed whitewater paddle, loads of scratches and small dents in it. Is that a potential source of weakness?

    It depends on the price Mike. If you had a new one it would end up with scratches in no time. The blades edges actually wear away over time, reducing the surface area and the length of the paddle overall. Sometimes it is more economical to buy new.
