If this is one of the better Werner paddles Wades method with not work and would likely damage the paddle. Is is one with the indexed ferule, like a Camano or Kaliste? IF so don't do it his way.

A method that does work at times with these models, also works with two piece rods, if they are stuck from swelling or moisture not so much sand.
Use a flexible ice pack, bag of peas, bag of ice... and wrap it around the male side of the paddle. This will cause it to shrink just enough to get them apart. Be sure to have the ice on just the male side.
