Kayak Paddle, Asymmetrical, 2-Piece, Heavy-Duty Aluminum with Comfort Grips, 7 Feet

I bought 3 kayaks before shipping out to Hawaii but I decided to wait on buying paddles. Turns out that I am able to kayak across Pearl Harbor to work 5 days a week so my paddles get lots of use (twice a day anyway). First I spent too much money on some other carbon fiber paddle that is very nice; however, it does tend to drip off of the end that is up in the air. I use my kayak to go to work so I don't really want salt water all over my lunch tote, shirt and shorts (yea...I work in shorts here ha!). So I decided to buy 2 of these cheaper looking attwood paddles for the 2nd and 3rd yaks in case company wanted to use them. Today I finally tried one our crossing the harbor and WOW! I wish I would not have wasted my money on that expensive paddle. These feel just as light as the expensive one or at least close to it and at 6'1" I felt that it was a very good length for me. I think this would work down to a person 5' tall or up to 6'5" if I had to guess. One side benefit is that it was a very dry running paddle. No dripping at the top of the stroke. I felt that it gave me a real decent and strong stroke as well. I might even say better than the expensive one I bought. I ended up leaving this one where I keep my kayak on the West side of Pearl Harbor without any fear of someone stealing it because it is pretty cheap and easy to replace. I highly recommend this paddle.

Nice paddle to replace ours that broke. Good quality

I really like this paddle. The grips are good, the size is nice, and the white is nice. I just overall like this paddle. Will probably order this specific paddle again if this one breaks. This has a large enough end that I can keep up with most people, and I am a girl :) The pretty paddle had a tiny plastic end that just didn't cut it. I rather have functional than pretty. The other paddle is going back, and this one is staying. Used a few more times for a few hour trips. I LOVE THIS PADDLE. Better than the paddles that came with the California Board Company Kayak I got, and better than the other 50$ to 60$ paddles I have tried. I am going to get a carbon fiber because I was amazed when I grabbed my friends and the difference in weight was actually quite noticeable, but this is a VERY good deal on this paddle. It is still light and the paddle ends are generously sized.

Ok if you kayak you understand paddles can get stupid expensive! This is a good paddle that works. It’s not light and it’s not fast. Not for white water or if you intend on just paddling a lot. If you like to still water and like to paddle for exercise than this may your paddle. If your gonna spend 6-8 hours on a all day float it’s ok, but it’s heavy if you have to paddle a lot. For the price it’s good, we tend to float flowing water so paddling is not major and this works good for that.

I bought two of these paddles. We take "float" trips which consists of recreational paddling with the kids, either on a calm river or on the backwaters of the lake. These paddles are sturdier than I was expecting. They seem to be of a good quality for a paddle that will only be used a couple of times a month in the summer. The kids use them, and there have been no complaints so far. The two halves of the paddle fit together quite well and there is very little, if any, wiggle from end to end. These definitely are not professional paddles, but for this weekend warrior I am completely satisfied. If they do ever need replacing, I will purchase the same ones again. Good Job Attwood for providing the average person a reasonably priced product that is well built!!!

The product came in very timely and exactly as advertised. It’s the perfect paddle for a kayak especially if you have a car because it can be broken in half and put back together. This in no way causes it to be less sturdy. I’ve used it several times and then several cases broken it apart to use it as an individual paddle for a Canoe. While I would not recommend using the paddle for a canoe it certainly gets the job done. Overall great product I will be purchasing another one because of the good price.

I love this paddle. I've had a chance to use a few others since I got it and I always find myself thinking "I miss my paddle". It's lightweight and easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

I love this paddle for many reasons. It's so lightweight, comes in two pieces with three adjustment options to suit your paddling style. When getting into tight spots like low hanging mangrove tunnels, I can easily pull it apart and just use one half of the paddle and stow the other until I get out into more open water. It makes your paddling experience much more enjoyable in that regard. It has a nice clip that holds both pieces together so you can save a lot of space in the car as well. I'll buy another one of these!

Exactly as shown, definitely good for the price

Exactement ce que j'avais besoin et la qualité a l'air excellente, très bonne prise en main.

J'aime bien mon achat très bonne qualité

Works well for my stand-up paddle board ( when I don't want to stand up )

Perfect for me.
