User questions & answers

Question:	Is it good for a man over 200 pounds
Answer:	With all carbon fiber construction, this paddle works well for hard pulls. I weigh over 200 and paddle for several hours per week and I haven't had any problems. It is carbon fiber so you have to be careful not to scratch or chip the surface because it can be damaged. But it is very sturdy for being very lightweight.
Question:	Is the blade removable
Answer:	It's a 3 piece paddle so there is a piece with the blade, the blade itself is not removable from the short section of paddle shaft it's on
Question:	Is there supposed to be foam in the shaft or something? I had one before and loved it. My new one fills with water and gets heavy. Old one didn't
Answer:	No foam in shaft. I have never had my shaft fill with water. Sometimes there’s a hairline crack on the edge of the paddle itself. This would cause the water filling the shaft. I normally just use electrical tape on the edge before I use the paddle for the first time...
Question:	Does it float
Answer:	Yes, it does float. We have done tests of putting it in the water for over 12 hours. Please make sure it is assembled and does not have any crack so no water is filled inside the paddle. Thanks.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I contact the seller for replacement? Mine broke with normal use
Answer:	You should be able to find them online or, if you purchase through Amazon, contact their customer service.
Question:	I'm seeing quite a few posts about broken blades, snapping of at the end of the shaft. Any thoughts
Answer:	It was an issue that affected a small percentage of paddles sold prior to July 2020. These paddles were missing a small metal reinforcement rod that connects the paddle blades to the shaft. The issue has since been identified and resolved. All paddles currently in inventory are perfectly fine. Thanks
Question:	would this work for a canoe? is it long enough
Answer:	It’s 98” long and designed for wide fishing style kayaks, so yes, it should work for a canoe as well.
Question:	The specs say aluminum and carbon fiber, please explain what is aluminum
Answer:	Aluminum is mentioned under Product Information: Material I myself wonder about that, if you said it’s all carbon fiber (shaft and blade) then that’s great! Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	How many inches wide is the blade
Answer:	In terms of angles and degrees I haven’t a clue all I can say is it’s in stark contrast to the typical Paddle provided with packaged SUP deals found on amazon. (I’m pulling this info based on the 6 friends that went out and purchased such). Honestly my one complaint about the paddle is that I can no longer stealthily paddle to get close to some of the Shoreline wildlife. The extra dihedral or spooning curvature creates a water splash that Gives me away. So for this very reason the kinetic energy from this paddle exceeds my past two “stock” paddles by about 40 percent!
Question:	What degree is the blade angle
Answer:	Yes, they are 2 different products. The one without bag is with smaller and different shape blade, and fiberglass shaft.
Question:	How much dihedral is on this paddle? is it the same on both models
Answer:	The paddle weighs 2.9lbs
Question:	It looks like there are 2 different products shown here? The one without the bag is a different paddle blade
Answer:	The actually paddle on the bottom is plastic

User questions & answers

Question:	What thickness are the rubbers and sponge
Answer:	The stated shipping weight is 2 lb or 32 oz. Some of that weight will be packing, such as cardboard box, plastic bag and instruction sheet. I will guess that leaves about 20 oz for the paddle. It would be nice if someone wound weigh theirs and correct me.
