Paddle: Cracked kayak paddle *PIC*

Can anyone offer advice on how to repair a cracked paddle shaft? (Werner Shuna paddle, carbon blend shaft.) The crack is about 4-5" long, running longitudinally at the end of the female half of a two-piece paddle. Male half of the ferrule is in good shape. When the pieces are joined it still catches to prevent the halves from twisting, but the latch button does not catch and the halves don't stay together.

I sent an inquiry to Werner but it is not under warranty and I suspect I may want to attempt the repair myself.

Thanks for any suggestions!
