I don't know if anyone posted this before but I just ran across this: http://pontoonpaddle.com/. It's $100 Canadian, looks like it might work

Seemed like she was moving that toon a little to easy, but if it works it would be better than a paddle, now the telescoping handles I never liked for cleaning pools because it always seemed when you didn't want to get wet the handle would let go on you while your putting pressure on it and you swimming with your cell phone and all.
On our lakes we could get by with a push pole but again it would have to be a telescoping for storage, so I'm waiting to hear from the first who buys it here

Handle looks pretty thin. I'd feel a lot better about it if it were a stout painters extension pole.

Here is the Email they sent me back.
Hi
We sell to the US regularly and the price conversion is done through our paypal account. So whatever the exchange is when you order will be the price paid. At the moment the canadian price is $100 plus $25 for shipping. We can make price adjustments for larger orders.
The paddle contracts to 5' and a chute width of 24 inches but lies flat as two opposing batons collapse.
Thanks very much for your interest and happy to answer any more questions you may have.

Looks like a good idea. Red Green would duct tape a broom handle to an umbrella and make the same thing .

A wide broom with a long handle could serve dual purpose to sweep up your toon.
