Carbon Elite SUP Paddle Full Carbon Fiber Paddle Board Paddle Kayak Paddle Convertible 3 Piece Adjustable 71''-87'' Extremely Lightweight Floating Pro Performance

Unlike my Epic kayak paddle — this is a fixed length. There is no way to change the length or angle once the auxiliary paddle part is inserted. On the other hand — the main Thurso SUP paddle is adjustable. It appears lightweight and sturdy.

Love this paddle. My second carbon fiber. Specs say 27oz but it weighs in at a hair below 25! Very slight flex when paddling hard, but nothing that robs power or feels flimsy. Nice click-ball and clamp at the paddle end with no play. Clamp-only on the handle end, but there is no twist. I have chunked this into the rocky bottom a couple of times with no scratches. I emailed the merchant twice with questions before buying and got next-day responses each time. Handle felt I little fat when I first used it but got over that almost immediately- might be an issue if you have small hands. I did have to buy a paddle bag from another merchant to go with it, but that's the way it was sold - no surprises. I feel confident with this purchase and highly recommend.

Then the top plastic clasp broke and now can't be closed Help. Can it be replaced? I think this is too expensive to just throw away. Great paddle when it worked. Anyone know if the parts can be bought and replaced? I hope the company sees this and replaces the clasp with something stronger. probably full aluminum would be better than the plastic. *Update*. I was able to go to the company's store and buy a clasp but I would prefer that in the future they sold aluminum clasps or a material that won't break.

For 3 piece, it is light, stiff, and easy to assemble. The top handle is a bit chunky and without a guide, you have to get it aligned to the paddle blade yourself. A groove would be a good add.

So incredibly lightweight and easy to use. Absolutely worth it. Adjusts to my height at 5:6 fairly well. I would say this is the best paddle, the quality feels amazing. It's pukka lightweight carbon fiber. Whenever I talk to my friends and try their paddles. This is the lightest one. Breaks into 3 parts so it's easy to transport. I'm very happy with it.

I'm an avid paddleboarder and kayaker and jumped at the chance to review this paddle, as a result. I was kind of shocked to see that it only came with the SUP paddle and that you have to purchase another paddle to do the conversion for kayaking. For the $$, it really should come with all the things. That being said, it tracks fine with the SUP, is convertible for the sup, is light, is strong, it floats... but in comparison with a $40 3-piece carbon fiber paddle from another brand, I see no difference in performance. In short, it's just not worth the price tag.

This is the best paddle that I have ever seen, used, or owned as of today! This paddle is not only light, but it's also strong and the fit and finish is flawless. Anybody that is on the water a lot will tell you that the best paddles available are the carbon fiber ones. The pushing power that you get from this paddle is insane. To say that I love this SUP paddle is an understatement! There are three pieces that fit solidly together, and the marker pole stays in place. This carbon fiber paddle has a double lock installation system with no rattling, twisting, or movement. It is so well built that it acts like one solid piece. I love that the paddle does break down into 3 pieces because it makes for easy carrying and storage. It would have been nice if they would have included a carrying case, but that's not a make or break deal for me. This carbon paddle feels great in your hands, and there aren't any rough or sharp edges at the seams. The carbon fiber shaft only weighs 25 ounces, which is 708 grams, and it actually does float. It can easily be adjusted from 71" to 87". If you have a kayak that you want to use it with they give you the option of purchasing another blade. We may actually buy it because we do have several kayaks and I would love to use it with them as well. I love the look, the feel, and the portability of it! The angle of this paddle is incredible! I have never felt such easy and perfect cutting through the water as I have with this paddle. It takes all the work out of paddling and brings back the fun! I highly recommend this paddle!

I have several SUP paddles in the price range of $120 to $200, and they are all 3-piece paddles. The material is the biggest cost factor. If you want a full carbon paddle (i.e., both shaft and blade), you can expect to pay at least $150 and up. Pay attention that any lower priced paddles may have blades that are NOT made of carbon fiber. One reviewer complained that blade size is too small. But, I compared this to my two other paddles in the same price range, the blade sizes are about the same. The subtle difference is due to the shape of blades and the size difference is negligible. Also the palm handle is indeed shaped (symmetrically) to be held comfortably in hand. It's just the palm handle is not slightly angled, which is a design that some may or may not like. This product has combined all the good designs, especially for its shaft connector joints, easy to tighten/loosen and lock it down tight without using any tools. There is ZERO wiggle in the shaft joints once properly adjusted. In comparison, my two other paddles in the same price range have their own issues, one has a little of wiggle and and the other requires a screw driver to adjust the tightness of its locking lever. My only minor complaint is that no bag is included .

It is well worth every penny. My only regret is that why I didn't spend the money much earlier. It is not just the feel. The results show in my heart rate monitor and performance on my smartwatch.

Super lightweight and excellent build quality. Makes a huge difference vs the heavy aluminium ones.

Amazing!!! Lighter than the included nylon blade by a long shot, and a much less expensive option than other carbon paddles ($300+ for similar quality...but if you already have the shaft, then why bother?). I also like the angle of this one better--seems made for a more advanced paddler, and the light weight made a huge difference in big ocean waves/long Lake paddles.

I really wanted to love this paddle. It's very well made and the full carbon is sweet. The blade looks amazing however it doesn't have your traditional SUP paddle grip that would be shallower on the palm and deeper for the fingers. This is fat on both side and after an hour of paddling, will become very fatiguing IMO. I am 5, 7" so don't have huge hands, so this may not be an issue for you. I really like the traditional shape of a SUP paddle grip. Much more comfortable. I don't undertsand why this has a canoe type grip. Lame, I am going to return it.

Fast delivery (2 business days), heavy duty suit case, paddle is strong and light. Shaft does not bend in windy, strong currents or waves conditions. Handle is comfortable. Fast and easy to adjust. Quality is reflected in price.
