Xtreme 2 Kayak Paddle, 84” - Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Blades, 2-Piece Construction - Great for Sport, Sea, Whitewater, Recreational & Fishing Kayaking

By no means is this a amazing paddle but if you need a replacement it will work. We purchased a kayak that did not have one and we looked all over for a paddle. The ones we were finding were extremely expensive and not in the price range we wanted to spend. Came here and found one for $43 and couldn't complain.It's easy to use, lightweight and it comes apart for easy storage. We've now used it quite a bit and have had no issues.

Easy to use light weight paddle. Perfect for my 9 year old to use while kayaking. Pretty sturdy and well balanced.

By no means is this a 5-Star paddle. You put this up against an Aqua Bound or Werner, it will lose handily. However, I can honestly say that I haven't felt a better paddle in hand for $35. Ergonomics are good, blade geometry is good, blade stiffness is good, no flex or play in the shaft. All is great for a budget Rec paddle honestly.About 8yrs ago I sold my kayak and gear because of condo life. Had a great Necky and Aqua Bound Carbon/Fiberglass paddle and would paddle 20+ miles. Back in another Necky but since I'm doing two kayaks and two sets of gear, I've had to scale back a bit, and in reality, I don't see my wife getting into kayak at any level more than recreation. If she does, we'll make the necessary changes when we cross that bridge.Now I will say that if you're getting into kayaking, and plan on progressing because you're entering a community that is very active and have friends that are going out paddling weekly, get a decent kayak and get a decent paddle. You will thank yourself the first time you go out and the paddle is 20miles and you're dealing with currents, waves and wind. It makes a world of difference!Also, Necky is a good brand that has good ergonomics and boat geometry that tend to blur the lines between a rec boat and something more usable by an advanced paddler. In other words, people tend to not outgrow Necky kayaks as easily. Dagger, Wilderness Systems and such also make great kayaks, but I have found the hull designs found on the Necky's to be faster and they strike a good balance in stability and speed. Also, look at the secondary market first and do your research! Facebook and Craigslist are great options to find used kayaks locally at a fraction of their new prices! Google is your friend to find out information on the boats to aid in a purchasing decision. Chances are, if you're looking here for a paddle, and looking at this paddle, its because you're just getting into kayaking, and there's a good chance you don't even have a kayak yet! I say be honest with your goals and expectations. This is a very good rec paddle and probably an amazing backup paddle as well, but if you're planning on making this a regular hobby, you're going to want to spend more on a paddle.

I waited to review this paddle until I had used it enough to form a solid opinion on its worth. So far I have used the paddle in several lakes and on at least ten trips down the river in my kayak. There are no problems so far and no signs of breakage. No stress cracks in the blades and the grips are holding up great. It has three positions where it locks together to set your paddles at an angle if you prefer, I've always kept it straight. The little metal button that holds it together is still working just fine. As long as you clean it up and don't let it sit wet it should keep working. I've seen some complaints about broken blades, I've put this paddle through some pretty rough use and have yet to snap an end off of it. This is by no means a professional paddle, you wouldn't want to shoot any class 5 rapids with it, but for recreational paddling (fishing, lake use, flatwater) It does great and is well worth the price. Just don't expect it to hold your body weight trying to push off of rocks or the bank of the river.

Good paddle for my inflatable kayak. This thing is lightweight, sturdy, and equipped with drip guards to reduce (but not eliminate) water running down the shaft getting you wet.I bought two of these, one shorter than the other, because I'm taller than my wife. Now I wish that I'd just bought 2 long ones. The sides of the inflatable seem to interfere with the shorter paddle some, so the reach of the longer paddle is helpful, and the greater leverage is always welcome.Being able to break down the paddle into 2 pieces is important to me, as I do need to stow the kayak and paddles in small spaces. I also expect to ship them (or check them as luggage) to various adventure destinations.Let me know if you find any of these observations helpful.

Made it through our first season with little to no damage. Got us through the water reasonably. Didn’t cost an arm and a leg. What more can one ask for for the price point? Not much more.

I ordered two SeaSense paddles, this regular X-II for myself in white and the X-Treme II for my husband in orange. I am very pleased with SeaSense in general. They are well built and sturdy paddles. They are a good quality and cheaper than anything I would get in similar condition at either of the local sporting goods chains in my town.I definitely like the X-Treme one I bought for my husband better than mine, it just seems slightly better quality and sturdier, but mine is still really good. I bought that kind for him because he specifically wanted orange and I didn't want any color so I liked the white and black. The only downfall, mine cost slightly more than his. Nothing significant, but surprising since I thought his was slightly better.

I bought this for my whitewater kayak and it significantly improved the maneuverability of my boat! It's a quality paddle- doesn't weigh a lot, collapses into 2 pieces, and the grips are so comfortable!

It's okay. It's short and a little bit wobbly.The metal handle's tolerances aren't great and it feels like the paddle wobbles a little bit. The push-button feels like it is too small and the shafts fit into each other kind of loosely. I have a cheapo pelican paddle that fits together better than this.It's short. I know that I should have confirmed and converted the number but I wasn't thinking. It's only 213 cm long. I'm a 6ft guy in a single sit-in kayak and I get wet fairly often.The colour is great, and the foam handles feel great too. The rubber rings are very basic and I worry about their durability, but they serve their purpose.To sum up, I shouldn't have spent 60 bucks on a paddle that I would maybe pay 30 for. There's lots of other paddles on clearance right now around the shops and I wish I could return mine to get one. Unfortunately mine has already been in the water and used to push off rocks after getting beached.

We have a Grand Inflatable Canoe for which we bought two Seasense kayak paddles. As the inflatable skims along the surface of the water these paddles make it run at a good clip. They are light for aluminum yet durable. I liked the way they split into two halves for carrying and offer a variety of blade angles. One drawback is spillage off each raised blade, be prepared for a wet t shirt!

For less than $50. this is really a great bargain Kayak Paddle. I purchased the 84 inch and I'm not sure if this the correct length or not but time will tell. The Drip rings move a little too freely but a little reflector tape on each side of the ring will keep them from moving. It snaps together really easily and why you would want the two other paddle positions when you join it together is a mystery at this time but like I said I am a novice at Kayaking.

I am loving this kayak paddle. Bought it to replace one that got lost. I wasn't sure what size paddle to buy - if you do a search there are guides online to help with this, it depends upon your height and I think arm length.It floats in water and the blades can be put so that they are straight or pivoted slightly, and it has a comfortable hand grip area which is great for reducing hand pain/strain, if you are prone to that as I am.

Well built for the money. Great paddle shape and strength. Very little flex in the paddle. No other budget paddles that I have seen compare to how stiff the paddle itself is. Shaft is fairly thin, keeping it light. Great for smaller paddlers. The padding for your hands is nice, and the drip guards are satisfactory. For the money, you can't beat this paddle.
