OCEANBROAD Kayak Paddle - Alloy Shaft Boating Oar With Leash - 218Cm/86In To 241Cm/95In Review

This kayak paddle features a sturdy aluminum handle that snaps together tighter than most. It floats well until you have a chance to retrieve it. I had a chance to use this paddle in a river, marsh, beach, mouth of the bay, and creek. It held up very nicely. The paddle ends are very firm, I purposely beached myself on sand and stone, and was able to use this paddle to push me back into the current . It displaces water well, and keeps you tracking fairly straight. Each handle has a soft wrap to…

The description says it’s medium length paddle is ideal for most situations, but I found it a little short for my liking. I am 5’5” with a 32” wide kayak. In this picture the person is 6’4”. The paddle does a good job of clicking into place, and there are three holes around the shaft I could click into so the paddle doesn’t have to be completely flat. They do not spin while paddling. The paddle is light weight and easy to undo for travel back home. There are water stops and a little like, soft…

Great paddle for the money. While it isn't super lightweight, it is very sturdy. It is also the first paddle I've ordered that has come with a leash. I have a bunch of high end Werner paddles and the cheapest no-brand paddles. the quality of this paddle is much closer to the high-end paddles I own. Fast shipping as well. Love it!

Just received my paddle today, and I can't tell you how ecstatic I am about the quality! I had another brand paddle that cost nearly double than this one that wasn't quality made, wasn't this light, and did not offer hand cushioning support. I plan on taking them out on the water this weekend. If anything changes I will update my review. But as an intermediate kayaker I know the difference between quality and cheap alloy or blades. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend.

It's a very good paddle for the price. HOWEVER, the advertising shows it with a paddle leash. There was NO paddle leash when mine arrived, and I see that's true for other reviewers.

Good price for durable, easy-to-use paddles for entry level paddling. Did not find these to be much of a downgrade compared to much more expensive paddles we had years ago. The drip guards don't seem to do a lot to keep you from getting wet, but that is pretty standard fare across any paddle I have tried. My only complaint is that the black paint chipped a bit almost immediately at the middle where the two parts push together. Otherwise these are a nice purchase.

These were bought as a replacement for the OEM paddles and I have only used them once but they seem better than the OEM design.

This paddle has an interesting design. It apparently has gouges and scratches built into the design of the paddle. There are fairly deep scrathes in the face of one side of these paddles and large scratches designed into the metal where the paddle connects together. There are also burs on the heatwrap that can be uncomfortable so you need to adjust your grip. The pictures are a bit deciving as its hard to noticed the scratched design from photos on the website. Personally I would have liked an…

We did only take it out twice but the paddle seems as light and durable as my other which lasted quite a while. It has holes for various positions.

Got for my tall husband. The paddle that came with his kayak got caught under a dock and bent in a freak windstorm. This one is longer than that standard paddle. Works nicely for standard lake kayak. If we were to purchase top of line river kayak would probably have spent more money for better quality paddle.

Quite a bit stiffer than the paddle that came with my kayak. I do wish it had more hand grip/cushion but love the tie up and color. Well worth the upgrade considering the price.

I just bought an Oru fold up kayak and although I had paddles, I thought I would get white ones to match it. I am impressed with these so far. Great value for the money for sure.

I RECOMMEND THIS PADDLE TO ANYONE AND THE PRICE WAS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT ITS GREAT QUALITY AND LIGHT WEIGHT, THE PADDLES ARE LONG AND SHAPED FOR QUALITY PADDLING. THE COLOR QUALITY WAS MORE THAN I EVER EXPECTED. NOT TO MENTION THE PADDING ON THE POLE WITH GREAT WATER CATCHER RINGS. PLUS THEY THREW IN A FREE LEASH.WOW . I AM VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!

Bought two - with two leashes - received only one paddle and leash.Gave two stars instead of one because it appears to be a well made product.Need the other paddle / leash

if your buy this paddle, expect to get wet. The notch in the blade holds water, and as u can imagine, bringing that notch upward and angling it toward u will send that stream straight down your elbow and soak you. not bad if u expect to get wet tho. and its cheap.

I'm sure there are probably better paddles out there but for the price I couldn't be more happy with the performance. I've taken it on two multiday paddles and it's worked great. Would definitely recommend.

I like that the paddles can be easily broken down into two sections, which makes it possible to maneuver when carrying it & the two pieces are short enough to fit during vehicle transport. It is also much easier to store the two short pieces of the paddle rather than finding a place to store one very long paddle in the garage when not in use. I also like that the paddle angle is able to be changed in different positions.

I have the 8.5 lifetime Hydros. The paddle replaced the original! The kayak is rather wide. With this paddle the kayak steered straighter and a bit faster! Love it! Cost was a bonus!

I needed a longer paddle for my pedal drive kayak. I don’t paddle much but I need a longer paddle when I do because I have a wide kayak. I also use it to push myself when I’m standing in my kayak fishing shallow water

I Got a kayak & of course it didn’t come with a paddle. I didn’t want to spend a lot $ on a fiberglass handle Paddles so I Got this one & I was pretty surprised how well it worked. Pro it Breaks down into 2 pieces so it’s easy to put in the car and go. if you become a pro its a great back up for the price or if your friend wants to try your kayak out you don’t have to give him/her your $250 one.
