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!

UPDATEThe company refunded my money for the broken paddle.At first glance, this paddle looks great—but the product title is misleading. It appears to be primarily made of plastic and painted aluminum, which isn’t immediately obvious. I might have been willing to overlook that, but unfortunately, it failed in a critical way.I've had the paddle for les than a year and used it less than 20 times. Yesterday, while paddling in deep water, the blade suddenly sheared off and sank to the bottom of the river. I didn’t hit anything—it simply snapped under the force of a strong stroke.This failure left me in a very dangerous situation. Thankfully, I was with friends on a calm stretch of river. Had I been alone or in rougher conditions, the outcome could have been much worse.Paddlers rely on their gear for safety as much as performance. In this case, the construction quality just didn’t hold up when it mattered most.

I bought the elite 2k carbon paddle with bamboo veneer. Its a lightweight paddle but i have lighter carbon paddles. The craftmanship is good. The paddle is gorgeous. But, its trisectional. It has slop in it the keyed upper section has to be tighter real tight to keep the handle from twisting the small amount it has the ability to. At this price point i expect a keyed section to fit tighter. The lower section has enough slop to bend back and forth slightly with each stroke. Again, at his price point and with a description of Elite i expect zero slop and movement. I fixed this lower movement with a small amount of thin tape under the middle section.

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)

Not a good paddle. I have had it less than a year order June 24 and I was paddling and it cracked. Not durable at all. Would not recommend

Great paddle for the price. Got it to use on a river where frequently have to use paddle to push away from rocks, so durable blade is good for that. Also performs well on flat water. I have another 3-piece paddle that does not fit together as rigidly, so am happy with this one in that regard. Expecting a 3-piece to feel like a 1-piece is unrealistic, but the convenience of fitting inside the car more than makes up for it. Regarding the paddle becoming "waterlogged", my other 3 piece did too, expected as there are more places for water to enter (duh). Simple fix is to buy a section of closed cell pipe insulation (like $2 at Home Depot) and cut strips and shove inside paddle shaft. Voila, paddle won't sink no matter what, and no noticeable weight added.
