SeaSense Xtreme 2 Kayak Paddle, 96” - Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Blades, 2-Piece Construction - Great for Sport, Sea, Whitewater, Recreational & Fishing Kayaking

I had this in the blue color and paddled with it for several years. I actually bought it used and then paddled with it 2-3 times per week, 5-15 miles per trip. There are certainly lighter-weight paddles out there but this one feels nice. The handgrips are hard to beat. It does its job well. So, My old blue paddle finally broke. I snapped the blade off while paddling. I can honestly say I beat it to death through the years. I fish from my kayak and often find myself stuck in rocks, beached in the sand, or any other number of perils. I use my paddle to push myself out of it. To replace it I spent $100 on an "angler" paddle from another brand, then an additional $15 for silicone handgrips. I was never really happy with it. I was still pretty upset when I lost it. Anyway, I was happy to find this paddle at such a great price. So, I bought another one. Hoping I don't lose it. :) You may be wondering how you lose your paddle. Well, I bought a peddle drive kayak, and you don't use the paddle near as much, so the paddle just fell out of the clip and was never seen again. I was 5 miles down the river before I noticed it missing. TL/DR: Good paddle at a fair price. I enjoyed mine so much I bought another one when it broke.

I bought this paddle for my Wenonah Solo Plus Canoe to use in Florida. Three firsts for me: Paddling a Solo canoe, Paddling in Florida and Paddling using a double-blade paddle. After 40+ years of paddling using straight and bent shaft single blades in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and other areas up north I didn't know what to expect here. Even though I'm choosing to incorporate a kayak paddle, I still use a bent shaft half the time, because it's more leisurely and relaxing and usually involves a nice tail wind/breeze. I wrote this longer review to address the concerns which are more concerning solo canoe paddler versus those paddling a kayak. I put quite a bit of research into material, length, brands, weight, etc.. Experienced solo canoe double paddlers were recommending anywhere from a 210 cm to a 280 (7-9 ft about). Their biggest concerns were wind, water drippings in the canoe, physical endurance, canoe gunwale width and maintainable speed. Any length will aid with wind concerns, but for the most part a longer paddle will provide a better adjustment to compensate. Water drippings for a canoe are usually less with the longer the paddle also, but technique also plays a part. Physical endurance is cut shorter with a longer paddle, requiring additional exertion with the added length. Gunwale width is a major consideration, especially the paddles angle to reach the water without scraping the gunwales. The wider the gunwale width means the longer the double bladed paddle. Lastly, maintainable speed has a lot to do with blade length and design, paddler's physical condition and technique and the environmental conditions your paddling in (wind direction, speed, waves, obstructions in the water and water body size). This is all a lot to consider in making a decision, but if you do, the choice you make is more likely going to be a much better one than trial and error. I chose this paddle with all the above considerations and reasons. Yes, I know there are some really great, but much more expensive double paddles out there. But consider this, the cost keeps a lot of $ in your pocket, its light weight is fabulous for endurance, blade design is great (especially for shallow dipping) and the grips on this one are very comfortable. The 3-position blade angle design affords choices and is quick to change while paddling. The length is 96" (8 ft or 243.84 cm) and for a gunwale width on my Solo Plus of 29 inches it works really well. I still get drippings in the canoe, but not when I lean into the paddling or lower to my knees due to wanting to increase my speed or am fighting a wind. Even though a longer paddle would reduce the water drippings, it would also reduce my ability to maintain a longer and/or faster paddling tempo. The water drippings are easy to handle by using a large sponge by your feet and squeezing it out every 20-30 minutes or so. I will say I'm very happy with this paddle after using it and my concerns wondering if it would stand up with such a light weight and lighter material were unfounded. Its sturdiness is great!

This is pretty decent for the price really. It's not super premium but works to get you out on the water. It's light enough (though not like carbon fiber ones) and is a good size. Overall, decent enough value if not life-changing.

These are good paddles, light weight, strong enough, but one side was bent on arrival and the rubber hand grip is loose after one kayak trip so for that I took off one star. But for the price these are a good purchase.

I love this paddle. It works great and is easy to put together and take apart. It is good looking as well. It’s lightweight so easy to use and carry. Good product.

Perfect for me....I paddle for pleasure...about 6 miles a kayak on smooth bay water with occasional choppy conditions. I find it light enough for long paddles. Make sure you order the correct size for your height and boat width and this is a great deal!

So we recently bought inflatable kayaks and with inflatable kayaks came the paddles, but unfortunately when we were using it, we started noticing that the paddles had a lot of flex to it so we started doing some research and realize that you’re going to need paddles that don’t flex as much so we came across this brand and we noticed for the price and the quality can’t be beat so we purchased them and we used them for the first time And they work. Awesome. They barely have any flex and with every paddle you get almost a good amount of efficiency of power out of these would recommend great quality.

So far I am really happy with this paddle. It fits me well, is light weight, and after using it for the summer I have had no issues with it. The blades don't feel like the most sturdy but I have been able to push off with them and have not had any issues with cracking or breaking, however I am cautious when I do this. The drip guards keep your hands dry, and even if your hands get wet the grip pads make it easy to keep hold. The fact that this paddle floats is also a plus in case you don't have a paddle leash or if it comes loose. Update: I finally upgraded to a carbon fiber paddle but this thing performed great for the money. The cushioned grips finally started slipping and moving more and the one paddle feels and sounds like it is getting loose and going to fall off at some point so time to upgrade. If you want a basic kayak paddle that will last and not break the bank, this is it. Bumping it up to 5 stars.

This paddle is perfect for me. It's a bit longer than the one that came with the kayak. I really appreciate the foam grips to prevent the blisters I had been getting. Worthwhile purchase.

Previously I had only bee. Using the paddle that came with my boat (no doubt cheapest one they had to throw in) so I don’t have a lot of paddle experience but this one destroys my old one. Has a better curve to it and padded grips with water shield. Plus the orange is a good visual cue for other boats as my boat is camoe coloured.

Los remos son ligeros y fáciles de guardar, ocupan poco espacio y tienen buena calidad los materiales en general, buena relación costo beneficio.

Bought two of these on here because they are that great. Way cheaper than similar styled paddles I could get locally at big box stores. They look and feel awesome featuring a very sturdy design.
