First time kayakers of varying ages, & this worked great for us all.
By C.T. on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024
I ordered 3 sets of these kayak paddles, and we just went kayaking for the first time over the Labor Day weekend, and they worked great for my 6'3 husband, my 5'5 self and our 5'7 teen daughter. Easy to assemble and adjust if you want the paddles turned a certain way. I didn't adjust anything, and it worked great for me. They are lightweight for how long they are, too! The only thing we couldn't figure out was how to adjust it from the shortest to the longest length, since the product details said it went in a range from 80" to 96". Didn't affect the usability though, and they were comfortable paddling for an hour or so. I do think I would prefer more cushion on the handles if I were going to be using for a longer period of time, but none of us got any blisters or anything. Great price and great product.

Had to send it back after first kayak outing.
By Jay B. on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017
Got these for the new kayak and was super excited to get out on the lake. For the price, they felt great out of the box, however on the water there was a glaring issue that made me send them back after the first use. Once these got wet, the foam grip pads got "lubed up" just enough and started moving down the pole. Not incredibly loose like, but just enough little by little, paddle by paddle that halfway through my outing is when I noticed. One pad slid down gradually enough and down to the point that it covered over the joint in the middle. Given the materials and with being wet, it made enough suction that it was impossible to just move or twist it back up to where it belonged. So for the rest of the outing it was just stuck in the middle unable to slide back into position. Trying to pack up to go home, I couldn't depress the button hard enough to separate the two pieces because of this foam covering it. Once it dried out at home I was able to move it back enough to separate and send it back in the box it came in. If this sliding grip issue is fixed, this would be a great paddle and value price-wise.
