Paddle Storage?

Does anyone have a good method to store a collapsible paddle on board? I just slip mine under the tramp foot straps but it's always in the way, there's gotta be a better way!

I'd like to tie it under the tamp so that I can easily retrieve and replace it while underway. Any suggestions?

I carry full size paddles and just thread them through the tramp lacing.

I hang my paddle off the bottom of tramp lacing.
I use 2 carabiners to attach it to the lacing. One at the handle of the paddle and other attached to a line that goes through a small hole I drilled in the blade of the paddle. So the paddle will release easily if needed. I've had it across the bottom on the back lacing but it hits the water sometimes there. So now I use the middle lacing.

I've seen photos of paddles attached to the boom.

Perfect, thanks buddy, kicking myself for not thinking of that before posting......

Good idea! I keep my paddle in the tramp lacing on top and it's always in the way and is uncomfortable for my legs/feet to be laying on. I'm totally going to carabiner it under the tramp!
