Attwood Emergency Telescoping Paddle for Boating, Orange

Good, soild paddle. This is required, and not going to be actually used. I bought orange, because you can use it as a daytime signal for help......on a lake or pond. It collapses to a very manageable size, and will fit practically anywhere. Plastic over an aluminum shift, so durability could be an issue. Overall seems great to me, for my Ca. boating requirement.

We lost all of our paddles, but this one. It works well with our stand up paddle board and fits nicely in the bag.

My daughter and I go on a lazy river outing at least once a year in our local state park and have done this for years. The business we rent the tubes from usually allow us to have an oar to use to push away from the banks or fallen trees during our adventures...until they didn't. "You will just go in circles." Not when we tether 3 tubes together into a triangle (gotta have one for the cooler) kinda need some assistance to get us out of jams. The last trip of the season in 2024 I bought this while floating down the river...we were using a stick and it helped, but just wasn't the same. We got to use the paddle today and it worked like a charm!!! Will never lazy river float without it. Easy to extend out to push off of logs/banks and even with the current pushing us the paddle never buckled, bent, collapsed...very durable. Highly recommend. Perfect size (compact) to sit next to the cooler and the blade itself is a decent size to use without needing to extend the handle out.

I love this paddle because it’s lightweight yet sturdy and very compact – it fits in my beach bag. The handle twists in 2 sections, which gives you 3 options for length. The top of the T handle has a hole so you can tie off the paddle to your boat, inner tube, etcetera. The only thing I don’t like is that the T handle doesn’t always line up straight with the paddle, which can make it slightly awkward to use. Regardless, I would definitely buy this product again.

Great item

The size is great to keep in my jetski and I like how it slides out and locks in place it works well and is very durable.

This paddle is excellent for tubing down the river and getting yourself out of jams such as flowing towards a branch, fallen tree or when you're not moving at all. My friends all gave me a hard time when I brought it along but as the float went on, they were asking me to pass the paddle to them because they were headed straight for a tree that had fallen into the river. By the end of the float every one of my friends apologized for giving me a hard time and ordered one for themselves.

Bought for boat, like that it collapses so small, seems sturdy, haven't had to use it yet
