Most people keep their paddles indoors, more, I suspect, from fear of
theft than sunlight, but sunlight does a job on most materials, from
wood to artificials.
This might also be a warning that your kayak, which you obviously also
keep out all paddling season, should get some protection from the sun.
UV light does the same job on plastics that it does on human skin and
isn't re grown the way skin can be. You don't want to hit a rock and
have it shatter from sun damage, do you?
