SUP Paddle - Carbon Fiber & Fiberglass Paddles - 3 Piece Adjustable Paddle Board Paddles w/Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass Performance Blades - Carbon, Fiberglass, or Aluminum Shaft Stand-Up Paddles

This carbon paddle is one of the best paddles I have ever used. I routinely paddle about 12 miles a week and this paddle is so light and durable. I have bent other paddles in the past just through normal paddling use. Aluminum paddles just can’t withstand heavy force and will not hold up over the long term. This carbon paddle doesn’t cause fatigue and the height adjustment mechanism holds up during heavy paddling and doesn’t come loose. I’m really impressed with this paddle as I have been using it for a couple of years now and it is no worse for wear. The grip and design is very comfortable and I would highly recommend this paddle for any level of paddler.

This is the 4th of these we have purchased. We are extreme paddlers and put it to the test. Wonderful quality. Comes with a great carry bag and breaks down into 3 parts for ease of travel. Handle is formed to you hand well and the adjustment ability for length is easy. Not to mention the bamoo paddle is impressively beautiful and durable. 3 of our paddles have been in service with us for 5 years now. Whenever needed (no replacements yet necessary) we will replace with this same paddle! Great product!

The media could not be loaded. Blade broke while paddling...... Dont't get stranded, but something else. Received this paddle on 8/15/2024 and broke on 9/15/2024, 1 day outside of the return window.Update: after contacting the seller about this they promptly issued a refund to me despite being outside of the return window (by one day). While I still don’t recommend the paddle, I appreciate a company that does the right thing and would consider ordering other items from them.

I bought this paddle because it seemed like a pretty solid upgrade from the one that came with my SUP, and because I wanted one that was just a little bit longer for maximum comfort while standing.I like it for the most part, but when extended out to the "stop" point, it feels like there's a bit of extra weird flex like, like the inner metal tube isn't 100% completely seated in the outer one. It stays together, just feels weird when I put pressure on it, almost like it's about to bend at the joint.Another small downside: the fasteners that tighten the clamp that holds the shaft in place aren't hand-adjustable, and actually require a screwdriver. You really probably only have to adjust it once, but I forgot to check the tightness of the clamp before I took it out to the lake, and didn't have a screwdriver with me.Other than those two minor details I do like it though, and it is a pretty solid and not super expensive upgrade to the paddles that come with many SUPs.

The media could not be loaded. This is for the Elite 12K Carbon Fiber: I purchased this paddle in 2018, and after approx. 312 hours of use, I must say the paddle is fantastic. Sure it's more expensive than some of the other offerings from Super Paddles, and in spite of never even touching the other products, I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase. Compared to my previous paddle (220 hours) that came with my Tower Adventurer 2, it is so much lighter. The blade area is quite a bit smaller, but optimizing the paddle length to submerge the blade deeper than normal totally compensates for any observed loss. Furthermore, the blade itself is so rigid, there's no energy "loss" due to bending. All this combined with the ultra light weight leads to so much more stroke efficiency.The paddle is also very solidly built. I loosely (but gently) place this thing in the bed of my truck and hit the highway at 70-80 mph and let it rattle around back there. A few minor scuffs, but nothing to cry about. I'm estimating about 78 such journeys in the bed of my truck (that's not a joke). The upper shaft has a groove that keeps it from twisting out of position--something that really irritated me about my other paddle. Also, I've never had to tighten the screws after my initial tightening. This is just an absolutely great paddle. I can't claim anything about the customer service, because the paddle is great. I've never had to contact them. Also, I can't say anything about the bag, because the thing never 'goes' into the bag. It's always at the ready.If you've read this far, you can see the paddle in action on my Y0uTube video, can't post a link so search Lady Bird Lake Paddle Boarding and see how we roll in Austin, TX! My thumbnail says "PERV ALERT"THIS IS A GREAT PADDLE AFTER 6 YEARS! (Just updated after a 2 year update. I use it every weekend and it shows absolutely zero signs of slowing down. Video is after 6 years of use)

I love these paddles. I have a carbon paddle that's been my go to for 5ish years now. Bought another for my wife recently and have no issues with the paddle.... just annoyed that it shipped without the bag. My only options thru Amazon were to return it or keep it with a credit to make up for the missing bag. I kept it because it's ridiculous to return a perfectly good item for a missing bag. It would be awesome if I could get a bag for it after the fact.
