Kayak Paddle Adapter: Turn Your Paddle into a Tent Pole

I designed this adapter after a friend who spends his nights camping throughout the archipelago reached out with a specific challenge. He needed a reliable way to repurpose his existing gear to save weight and space. This solution allows you to use one half of a kayak paddle as a central tent or tarp pole, utilizing the various line-attachment options provided by my Multihub system (see my other models). There are two versions included in this project to give you the best fit for your setup. The first is a modular component designed to slide into the full Multihub, offering maximum flexibility for complex guy-line configurations and tarp layouts. The second version is a dedicated, standalone adapter meant specifically for those who want a streamlined connection between the paddle and their shelter without the extra bulk of the entire hub. The design focuses on a snug fit for smaller paddle shafts. If it does not fit your paddle, send me the measurements of the top of your paddle, and I'll see if i can make one suited for you :-)
