Was hoping someone may able to help here.
Whilst paddling this morning I noticed that my adjustable paddle became jammed (seemed as if sand or similar got stuck ). It is now permanently at half a shaka above head height.

This afternoon I went to inspect paddle expecting that after drying it might come free but no luck . Any ideas on how to resolve ? I have tried WD 40 and even tried heating up with hair dryer but no luck.
It is a Starboard Hybrid Tiki Tec Hybrid Enduro paddle.
