  • Quality paddle
As someone who fishes a lot out of a kayak this was hands down one of the best upgrades I have purchased. Light weight and the oval handle fits your hands better with less slipping and fatigue. In my honest opinion it’s well worth the price tag and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again.

  • Solid higher end entry level paddle
Color: Electric Green Size: 260
Solid and light paddle. Make sure that you adjust the clamp to insure a tight fit between the two lengths. Good for retrieving fishing line and lures

  • Works for me
Color: Electric Green Size: 280
Taken it out a few times and am pretty happy with it. For the price I think it should have padding or some sort of grip which it doesn’t so it easily spins in my hand. But this was basicly the only 280cm I could find so my options are limited

  • Amazing quality for price point
Color: Electric Green Size: 280
My wife and I have 13ft kayaks that are 3 feet wide in the middle. We are both about 5’10”. This was the longest paddle that didn’t cost over $400. My wife LOVES it!!! I also have one in a different color and love mine as well.

  • Worth the money
Color: Tidal Blue Size: 260
We bought this because Bending Branches had a lot of good reviews online. This paddle works great. It’s lightweight and works great. Very durable.

Loved this paddle but only used once and blew out of my truck bed now it is lost forever 😭

  • Long.
Color: Tidal Blue Size: 270
Seems very sturdy. Little heavy but that is fine. Definitely will take some hard paddling. Do not notice any flex in the paddles. Have much better control than with the standard length.
