   I ordered this paddle because I’m 6’2″ and I needed a longer paddle since I ride so high up on my kayak. Upon inspection, it seems to be a fairly well build paddle considering the price. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the connection point in the center (this is a two piece paddle by the way) seems to be just a little bit loose. I put a little bit of teflon tape on it, and it is snug now, so no problem. I have not taken it out into the waves yet, but I expect it will last. I’ll update this after I take it out a few times.Product Update: So, I’ve taken it out in green flag and yellow flag (which I probably shouldn’t have) surf conditions. Keep in mind, this thing is long, so it gets tiring to use it for long periods of time. HOWEVER, I am growing to like the length, especially in rough surf. The length allows me to get that blade down into the surf to make last second course corrections to avoid flipping. I’m glad I got the long one. If you are going to paddle in light surf or bay/lake conditions, get a shorter paddle. You will kill yourself with this thing.Product Update #2: It’s been quite a while now since I bought the first one. It got older after a LOT of use and I can’t get the joint apart anymore. However, I just bought another one. You simply can’t beat the price. It is light enough to use for a while without getting tired (I repeat though, if you are going in very calm conditions frequently get a shorter paddle). Joint on the new one is a little loose just like the first, but the first one never gave me any problems, and I used it to get out in 5-6 foot swells (not my wisest idea)…

   I bought this paddle for my Wenonah Solo Plus Canoe to use in Florida. Three firsts for me: Paddling a Solo canoe, Paddling in Florida and Paddling using a double-blade paddle. After 40+ years of paddling using straight and bent shaft single blades in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and other areas up north I didn’t know what to expect here. Even though I’m choosing to incorporate a kayak paddle, I still use a bent shaft half the time, because it’s more leisurely and relaxing and usually involves a nice tail wind/breeze. I wrote this longer review to address the concerns which are more concerning solo canoe paddler versus those paddling a kayak.I put quite a bit of research into material, length, brands, weight, etc.. Experienced solo canoe double paddlers were recommending anywhere from a 210 cm to a 280 (7-9 ft about). Their biggest concerns were wind, water drippings in the canoe, physical endurance, canoe gunwale width and maintainable speed. Any length will aid with wind concerns, but for the most part a longer paddle will provide a better adjustment to compensate. Water drippings for a canoe are usually less with the longer the paddle also, but technique also plays a part. Physical endurance is cut shorter with a longer paddle, requiring additional exertion with the added length. Gunwale width is a major consideration, especially the paddles angle to reach the water without scraping the gunwales. The wider the gunwale width means the longer the double bladed paddle. Lastly, maintainable speed has a lot to do with blade length and design, paddler’s physical condition and technique and the environmental conditions your paddling in (wind direction, speed, waves, obstructions in the water and water body size). This is all a lot to consider in making a decision, but if you do, the choice you make is more likely going to be a much better one than trial and error.I chose this paddle with all the above considerations and reasons. Yes, I know there are some really great, but much more expensive double paddles out there. But consider this, the cost keeps a lot of $ in your pocket, its light weight is fabulous for endurance, blade design is great (especially for shallow dipping) and the grips on this one are very comfortable. The 3-position blade angle design affords choices and is quick to change while paddling. The length is 96″ (8 ft or 243.84 cm) and for a gunwale width on my Solo Plus of 29 inches it works really well. I still get drippings in the canoe, but not when I lean into the paddling or lower to my knees due to wanting to increase my speed or am fighting a wind. Even though a longer paddle would reduce the water drippings, it would also reduce my ability to maintain a longer and/or faster paddling tempo. The water drippings are easy to handle by using a large sponge by your feet and squeezing it out every 20-30 minutes or so. I will say I’m very happy with this paddle after using it and my concerns wondering if it would stand up with such a light weight and lighter material were unfounded. Its sturdiness is great!

   I had this in the blue color and paddled with it for several years. I actually bought it used and then paddled with it 2-3 times per week, 5-15 miles per trip. There are certainly lighter-weight paddles out there but this one feels nice. The handgrips are hard to beat. It does its job well.So, My old blue paddle finally broke. I snapped the blade off while paddling. I can honestly say I beat it to death through the years. I fish from my kayak and often find myself stuck in rocks, beached in the sand, or any other number of perils. I use my paddle to push myself out of it. To replace it I spent $100 on an “angler” paddle from another brand, then an additional $15 for silicone handgrips. I was never really happy with it. I was still pretty upset when I lost it. Anyway, I was happy to find this paddle at such a great price. So, I bought another one. Hoping I don’t lose it. 🙂 You may be wondering how you lose your paddle. Well, I bought a peddle drive kayak, and you don’t use the paddle near as much, so the paddle just fell out of the clip and was never seen again. I was 5 miles down the river before I noticed it missing.TL/DR: Good paddle at a fair price. I enjoyed mine so much I bought another one when it broke.

   My first paddle lasted over 2 years and only broke because of an accident. Metal can be bent with enough force but that’s coming from a 6’3″ 210lb strong German man so take that with a grain of salt.

   I’m sure it’s a nice product and a good company but I was really hoping to use a longer paddle by this weekend and I couldn’t even get the two peices together. If it was just dented I would’ve got it back true so it would fit but it’s all scrapped up like someone drug it down concrete . The scratches alone made me wanna return . Like I said I’m sure it’s a great product and good company just the shipping ruined it

   For an everyday kayak paddle hard to beat it. Love this product. This is my second one, this one being for my partner. She loves it, as well!

   Blades do have a little flex but that seem to be a good thing. Compared to my more expensive paddles they work just as well and build quality seems to be as good. They do float as well.
