Perfect size for 5ft 5 inches. Works great

I have an outdoor adventure company and ordered one of these paddles at first. I liked it so much that I ordered three more. It's been a year and the male and female ends still seamlessly come together with no rust or deterioration from salt water. I will order more. The drip notches work well. The paddle is lightweight but slices through the water nicely. It does have a little "give" in it, which the high-end paddles do not have, but we aren't trying to win any kayak races!These paddles are great for any recreational kayaker.

Wife needed a new paddle as hers was made for a kid. Got this in part because it's orange and she loves orange. But as I often go out by myself I wanted to try it and compare to my paddle. I've got a fishing kayak (even though I don't fish) and the paddles are squared off. They provide a lot of power and work well, but they take a good bit of energy to use. The difference between that paddle and this paddle was huge.I've googled and read the product description and all that and still can't quite figure out exactly what the "diversion effect" is as described in relation to the serrated teeth on the paddle. The way the water moves around the blade or kayak? I dunno. What I do know is I can move this paddle through the water with considerably less effort than my other paddle. Whatever magic those teeth provide, it is awesome. A friend who has a similar paddle without the teeth tried it and thought it was better was well. So two thumbs up for paddle teeth.The paddle floats no problem, as it should. Don't know why anyone would want one that doesn't. The grip is solid.At under $30 I can't see myself buying a different paddle, nor should you in this price range. Get it, you won't be sad. If you are sad anyway, well, it isn't really the paddle's fault.

Shipped to me in what looks to be used condition (was not in a sealed bag) and without the paddle leash (missing part). I purchase two the black paddle came in a sealed bag with a barcode and the paddle leash also in a sealed bag. Not sure what happened with my blue paddle.Update: I was contacted by the seller and offered a full refund, very nice of them to do that. I used the paddle and it does work very well. No issues with functionality.

I used this type of paddle in Maui with Jason as our guide, it is brilliant for grabbing onto another paddle of the same type and pulling or towing another kayaker

Delivered fast, works as advertised. Was a present fory wife and she loves it.

Wanted a paddle that was longer than what came with the kayak. With the addition length of this product it’s making it easier for me to paddle around

I ordered five of these to go along with some new kayaks we purchased and I could not be more pleased. I expected I'd have to make some sacrifices in exchange for the low price, but I genuinely do not feel like I have. The paddles are extremely sturdy when put together and come apart very easily for transport. The design of the paddles also makes them very easy and efficient to use. I've already used them several times and expect they will last a long time as well.Cheaper isn't always better, but in this case, you aren't going to get much better by spending more.
