Review on 🚣 ADVANCED ELEMENTS UltraliteLite 4-Piece Aluminum/Nylon Kayak Paddle - 88 inch (224cm) Assembled - 23.6 inch (60cm) Packed - 23.5 ounces, Black, (AE5005) by Carlos Long

I bought this with my Advanced Elememts kayak. I wanted a lightweight paddle for travel. That's easy. The paddle is smaller than a regular paddle, which is what I expected from other reviews. The length is good. The reason I gave it 4.75 stars is because the shaft diameter is smaller than I expected and it's smooth. I used it for the first time yesterday and woke up with so much pain in my wrists. I use kayaking gloves and it helped a little but not enough. Because the grip is tight and slippery, I gripped it a little tighter than usual. Today I suffer from it. I'll grab some tape and hope it fixes the problem. I'll learn more about durability as I use it more.
