I think it's a break-down paddle perhaps suitable for an inflatable kayak owner, if only that the break-down feature lasts, which it might not. Maybe plan on frequent disassembly or when ever not actively paddling, or else the whole thing seizes together. A disassembly of the center section by prying off an end cap would allow access to the button springs for rinsing clean off saltwater ingress. Springs would be made of steel, and subject to rusting, and failure of the buttons to lock the assembly.It's adjustable - long to short and to feather the blades in different orientations. Minimum insertion of the center piece when fully extended is only 3.5 inches an other customers complain of breakage. The open adjustment holes can take on water and create a heavy side unless taped over. Electrical tape?

I used this one day and like it well enough. I can really move the water, the paddle end is sturdy and well designed for moving water. Very light weight and thick enough poke for a 5’10 225# guy to grip all day with no issues. I think a lady would do very well also. I have used it as a lever to get off rocks with no issues, rather surprised at the strength. Mine is a full carbon tube and I worked with carbon fiber as a carbon fiber technician so yes I know a carbon tube. The thin tube is prone to bulging around the push button holes. Can’t be helped with a light weight tube like this. Wish the carbon was a 1/16 thicker. Changed length easily and can be shifted 45 degrees for off set paddles CW or CCW or even. The tube is perfectly round and not oval so I had to look to see how to set the paddle if I lost the grip. A oval rods enable the rower to know by feel how to hold the paddle. Oval is better but not at this price point and it loses the ability to cant the paddles 45 degrees CW or CCW by simply twisting the the center to the next notch. I think this is great for light to medium use, definitely not for the company or business with hard daily use. The tube is too delicate for rentals. For personal use with a person who is not a gorilla I think it will work great.

Nice--lightweight, rigid and inexpensive. Made in China, unfortunately.

Great paddle for kayaking on flat fresh water and coastal waters. The paddle is durable, easy to assemble and disassemble, and moves water very smoothly. The variety of blade colors was a plus, as we have differing color kayaks. I would buy again, so I also recommend the paddle to others.

I've only used this once but for a low priced paddles i think it is worth it. Added better drip rings. Nice leash too! Tried it adjusted a little larger and was perfect. That to me is the icing on the cake, use it in your fishing kayak and then a simple adjustment and use for your rec kayak. Would i stress it out by bridging on every and exit? Probably hard on it but it's built sturdy for the weight and price.

This paddle is nice because it doesn't absorb the cold from the water cuz of the materials it's made with. It also comes with a nice attachment piece for your kayak or paddle board so you don't have to worry about losing your paddle of you drop it in the water. There's a lot of colors to choose from too so you can have bright or dark colors depending on your preference. It's a good quality product for the price and I would recommend it to others who go on the water long trips.
