Making a one piece rod 2 piece

[bassnblues]

I very rarely do any surf fishing but I'm taking a trip to Ocean City Md in September and would like to do some fishing off the piers. I have an 8' St Croix surf rod that is one piece that I like but don't use too often.

With all the other crap that I have to take, I'd rather not have to cart the one piece rod in my SUV because it takes a lot of room and could be damaged by shifting luggage etc.

Is it feasible to have a good rod builder turn this into a 2 piece? Or should I just buy a cheap 2 piece surf rod?

Again, I like this rod and would like to continue to use it for occasional surf/pier trips but a 2 piece would be more convenient.
