AbahubSUP Paddles - 3 Piece Adjustable Stand up Paddle - Lightweight Oar for Paddleboard, Aluminum Alloy PU Coated Shaft 68" - 84", Black/Blue/Green/Orange/Red/Yellow Plastic Nylon Blade

Looking at the reviews of this product was deceiving. Either the product is now versioned to correct issues or there are knock offs. The product I received was solid and works great. I paddle a fishing kayak and many times stand and paddle. That is why I got this paddle. The blade does not move like posts stated. In fact there is a channel that locks it into place. It is heavier than I would like but for $30 it is tough to get carbon fiber. The 3 piece design is nice. I also like that when you leave it assembled and condense the handle it measure about a 54in paddle. Perfect if you want to sit vs stand. I have about 30-50 miles on this paddle hitting rocks and handling the local streams in missouri. This is a good product

We own four different inflatable paddle boards. The most recent one we purchased was less expensive but it came with a really bad paddle. The bad paddle it came with had a lot of flex in the wide paddle portion and was just really flimsy so I wanted to replace it with the Abahub.The Abahub is the same style, three-section paddle but has a couple of features that made it my favorite of all the paddles we have for our iSUPs.First, the plastic wide portion is very stiff and sturdy. Second, it’s angled to the shift, which seems strange at first, but after using it today, showed me that the paddle stays in the water longer - giving me a much more efficient stroke. Third, the upper portion has a channel that slots into the mid section (see photo). This keeps the paddle handle from rotating inside the mid portion of the handle.It’s a simple, clever, sturdy design that I really like.Also, when assembling for the first time I saw that there was a piece of foam in one of the sections. I almost removed that, thinking it was packing material…but then realized it was to make the paddle float if dropped. So, instead I shoved it deeper into the paddle.Good paddle. If you need a replacement this one has been great for me!

Its a great value for a paddle. I bought this to replace my 100 dollar paddle that sank. Has been used a lot this summer. Held up well but some small chips out of the tip

Very good upgrade to the paddle that came with our SUP. Nice, large blade and very sturdy when pulling water.

Update: I wasn't planning to return the paddle. The seller contacted me directly based on my review and offered to send me a replacement. That is amazing sustomer satisfaction policy. The new paddle is great. Took it out several times already. The one I got before must have been a fluke. So don't be afraid to buy from this seller. They truly stand by their product quality. I also bought a more expensive fiberglass paddle beginning of summer from them and that is a star!............ The paddle got bent during paddling. Adult male rider, lake water.

I bought this for my paddle board to use in a lagoon and it works wonderfully. It's very sturdy and was easy to assemble, it also comes apart easily to fit in my paddleboard bag or in the trunk of my car.

Nice quality for price. Matte black is amazing touch. Paddle itself was bigger than I was expecting.Edit: I read some reviews about the paddle being loose. Let me add something about that now that I've used it a few times. It's definitely a different locking mechanism than I've used before. Other paddles I've used have holes drilled into one piece and two metal rods on the other piece to lock into place. This paddle doesn't have any holes at all. It uses a pretty solid clamp to lock in place. The obvious drawback of this mechanism is it moves somewhat. I'm talking centimeters of movement. While using I've adjusted to this and actually like it to a certain extent. Other paddles lock in place and aren't able to adjust top handle and swivel it to a different angle. I like having that flexibility because sometimes the hands gets worn at the certain spots. It's nice to adjust and swivel it for a different hand grip. With paddles that lock in place there's just one grip option.While I don't mind this feature, it's not something everyone will like. If you want something that stays locked in place 100% I suggest you find another paddle. This paddle is very solid overall for the price.

purchased this to use with a 12' skiff for when I'm beachcombing and don't want to risk hitting the prop for the motor on rocks. Early days, but so far I'm loving it. The adjustable length is nice, still sorting out exactly how long I want it. The curve on the blade I was worried would cause it to wobble back and forth as I pulled back, but it is rock solid in the water, and does a good job at moving the boat.Thinking of getting another one for an emergency paddle for another boat as it will break down nice and short and slip into the center console easily.
