This aluminum paddle is constructed using precision aluminum shafts and reinforced nylon blades to make it lightweight and durable. The modern blade shape allows for a smooth entry into the water with minimal splash while its slight dihedral design reduces cavitation for maximum transfer of power from body to blade to water. It is fully adjustable from four feet collapsed to five feet fully extended in two-inch increments. Fashioned as a hybrid between a canoe and SUP paddle we've combined the best of both worlds.
