Not sure whether to load in with sup bag ,or get an adjustable, if so which type. Anyone with some experience and information would be well received. thanks

The adjustable three piece Werner Nitro is a good one for travel.

If you take yours I'd wrap heaps of bubble wrap around so it looks like a giant sausage.

My friend Jonathan has the three piece Werner Nitro and traveled with it a few times.. I think he has it separate with his luggage.

I went to Noosa last year with a Werner 3pc Nitro - had it wrapped up in a old wettie leg and managed to get it onto the plane as carry-on. Went to Batemans Bay in November and had a small bag made up specially for it to separate out the three parts, but they made me check it in, which was a bit iffy, I thought, but got there and back no worries. Definitely less cumbersome than a 1 or 2 pc paddle. Good luck
