PelicanPoseidon Paddle - Aluminum Shaft with Reinforced Fiberglass Blades - Lightweight, Adjustable Kayaks Paddles - Perfect for Kayaking Boating

I've used more expensive paddles, but I have not seen a significant difference between the two. If you're looking for usable paddle and don't want to spend a lot of money, this is a great alternative. Build quality is good (aluminum pole), lightweight, floats, provides good propulsion even with decent technique, and value makes this a great paddle for your consideration. If you're looking for a touring paddles, I would recommend you spend a little more for something lighter, but for general use even as a primary paddle, this is more than sufficient for your needs.Overall, I would recommend this product.

So, I haver this paddle on my Xmas list. My wife makes the purchase and I get it at Xmas Day. I don't open the box, because it's winter. When I do finally open the box to get ready for my Kayak trip, I find I have been sent 2 right paddles. So not only will they not join in the middle, but I couldn't have used them anyway. I contact the company or place that filled this order. Never got a response. So what the heck, I go ahead and purchase it again because I really wanted this paddle. This time I got the right & the left paddle. Yay !! only now I still have 2 right side paddles I can do nothing with and wasted $$. I know accidents happen, but to just ignore it? Well, there ya go.I love the paddle. Nice weight and balance. Strong through the pull and easy effort... I recommend the paddle, just be careful when ordering and check it immediately, in case.

Bought two of these paddles to use with a 2 person kayak. Great value for the price. Easy to set up and storage.

These are well built and cut through the water with ease.I did add a layer of wax to assist with the waterproofing.The color of the paddles are subdued, but I may add a colorful floating foam bob to assign with identifying in the water.It’s overall lightweight and sturdy.I got the longer version for my wider folding kayak and it’s minimized me hitting my knuckles on the side of the kayak.

Old paddle broke on me & selected this one for replacement. Very happy with this purchase - comfortable to use and like the area to place my hands.

Beginner kayaker so only have an Intex paddle that came with an Excursion Pro kayak to compare it to. Even then it's a big improvement over that. Works for me at the moment. Would recommend.

Replaced an old set after I lost half of it.Don't open the plastic wrap with a knife as there are soft rubbers on the shafts.

The color of this was great matched my kayak so well and it does great on the water! I was faster than most people with it and it’s on the heavier side but I like that!
