Description of Lightweight Carbon SUP Paddles By Abahub - 3 Section Adjustable 67"- 86" Shaft For Stand-Up Paddleboards, Includes Carrying Bag

FIBERGLASS+POLYPROPYLENE BLADE: The fiberglass and PP construction with UV-stable ensure a durable paddle with a reasonable and affordable price. The double concaves 91 square inches blade adds power and stability to the stroke while reducing flutter of the paddle. It weighs about 30 oz (850g), and floats in all waters. It is perfect for beginners to intermediate paddlers. CARBON SHAFT: The carbon composite shaft contributes to the lightweight of the whole paddle. It’s stiff yet with certain flexibility required to maintain better performance and protect the shaft from breaking under extreme powerful stroke.

It’s suitable for paddlers above 5 feet. Suggested paddle length is paddler height plus 6 or 8 inches. *Important: The screws on the clamps need to be checked and tightened if needed before using.

UPDATED Abahub Paddle Product Review

The first SUP paddle arrived with a broken shaft. However, the seller was proactive and replaced it with a new one free of charge.The shaft is 100% carbon fiber. The blade is a heavy duty plastic covered with a carbon fiber looking overlay. The handle is plastic also made to look like carbon fiber. See pic of it (nearer one) next to a 100% carbon fiber handle (shiny, farther one). The etched surface of the handle allows for a firmer, nonslip grip when wet.The paddle is a little heavier than a…

Pros
  • Seems very lightweight
Cons
  • The paddle may not be suitable for larger individuals or those with higher levels of upper body strength

Great purchase best in my review

I used a heavy aluminium paddle that came with my paddleboard for the last year. I finally upgraded and I'm very glad I did. This paddle is light, thin, and has flex which gives it much more power. It fits me great at 5'10" tall but I don't think it would be good for anyone taller than that. The case is also very nice, and I think the price is amazing. I would recommend for anyone my size. Not sure if you lose flex being shorter or not?

Pros
  • Just a little hard to disassemble when wet.
Cons
  • The paddle may not be suitable for certain types of water activities or sports

Light easy but broke.

Love the lightness, feel, and blade for flat water paddling. First time surfing waist high waves today and broke. The blade sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Should have bought the protection plan and only ordered it middle of July. 🤷‍♂️🏄🏼‍♂️🌊

Pros
  • Really like this paddle. Has a great feel, comfortable in my hands.
Cons
  • The adjustable shaft may be difficult to adjust properly, leading to instability or uneven paddling

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Light and strong for my opinion

Good lightweight paddle and nice carrying case. Blade weight is more than I anticipated but likely a good idea for strength.

Pros
  • Very happy with my new paddle! Great Quality and value for the price. Highly recommend!
Cons
  • The 3-section design may make the paddle less durable than other types of paddles

Fair price, quality product.

I have an isle surf and sup 140$ hybrid paddle that I lost, this is cheaper but feels almost exactly the same. It's a nice paddle and works well, only complaint is the handle feels a little weird to my hand at times, like the grip portion.

Pros
  • ‎810g
Cons
  • The adjustable shaft may require more maintenance than other types of paddles

Sturdy, lightweight, and it floats!

I love that this how do fluids and can break down to fit in my travel sup bag. The locking mechanism could be a little tighter, may need to hand tighten with a screw driver before taking it out.

Pros
  • CARBON SHAFT: The carbon composite shaft contributes to the lightweight of the whole paddle. It’s stiff yet with certain flexibility required to maintain better performance and protect the shaft from breaking under extreme powerful stroke. The ergonomic and patterned PP handle grip increases traction and comfort for the hand.
Cons
  • The paddle may not offer as much maneuverability as other types of paddles

Very nice paddle.: my feedback

Light, seemingly durable, and floats. Big upgrade from a stock paddle, and can't picture going back to that one. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Extremely light! Handhold fits my hand perfectly!
Cons
  • The carbon material may be too slippery when wet, leading to decreased grip and control

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Feels light and sturdy, no slip adjustable handle so far.

I’m still not sure about the latch for the adjustable length, those types always seem to break but I’ve not had one like this design so I’m hopeful it will last. Otherwise love the weight and feels sturdy. No slip on the adjustable handle so far.

Pros
  • ABAHUB Warranty: we've been manufacturing paddles for over 10 years. We know what we're doing and we stand by our products. If you're not happy with our products, we'll offer you replacement or refund with "No Question Asked" warranty.
Cons
  • The 3-section design may make it more challenging to achieve a good balance and posture while paddling

Nice and light but still a plastic blade so not so fragile

Awesome weight and balance, just gave myself a blood blister snapping the handle together. But operator error doesn't take away from a great product at a fantastic price!

Pros
  • Easy to assemble and it comes w a nice bag for storage.
Cons
  • The paddle may not be as aesthetically pleasing as other types of paddles

Lightweight and durable!

Easy on my hands for the long paddle trips. I am a beginning and older SuP boarder and I love this new paddle. I feel stronger after a long day because my arms aren’t tired from the weight of a regular paddle. Color is awesome too!

Pros
  • ‎Abahub
Cons
  • The carbon material may be more susceptible to developing cracks or fractures over time

Well worth it - my new review

I wasn’t sure when it first arrived. But after a three day paddle adventure I love it. The bag is amazing it’s extremely durable while still being light and easy to paddle with. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • The look of the paddle and style
Cons
  • The carbon material may be less eco-friendly than other types of materials

Broke after 5 uses good for me

I’ve only used this paddle 5 times and it broke during the 5th use. The 3rd pieces that adjusts to a paddler’s height no longer holds with the clasp closed. The paddle is not sturdy and heavy.

Pros
  • The product is very strong and easy to adjust the height. My kids like the handle contour.
Cons
  • The carrying bag may be too small to fit other accessories or gear

Good quality for good price

this exceeded my expectations. The price is exceptional. The weight is good and it was easy to assemble. I especially love the bags which helps to pack the paddel especially for travel or at the end of the season.

Pros
  • FIBERGLASS+POLYPROPYLENE BLADE: The fiberglass and PP construction with UV-stable ensure a durable paddle with a reasonable and affordable price. The double concaves 91 square inches blade adds power and stability to the stroke while reducing flutter of the paddle. It weighs about 30 oz (850g), and floats in all waters. It is perfect for beginners to intermediate paddlers.
Cons
  • The paddle may be too long for smaller individuals or children

Poor fit and finish

I’m not hating this paddle but the fit between the lower and middle tube section is unacceptable. There is a ton of play where they connect. This uses the standard push-pin that indexes into a hole. Either the pin is too small or the hole is too big. I have kayak paddles that use this push pin system that are almost 10 years old that don’t have near this amount of play. I am returning and can’t recommend this paddle. Maybe this is a one off but for the cost, no way.

Pros
  • Light weight but quality
Cons
  • The 3-section design may make it more challenging to maintain a good grip on the paddle

Great upgrade. in my review

Great upgrade to the stock paddle that came with my SUP. One improvement would be better (and softer) grip material at the handle, but for the price, can't be beat.

Pros
  • received quickly. Love the look. Easy to assemble. Great carrying case
Cons
  • The carbon material may scratch or dent more easily than other types of paddleboard paddles

Not bad for the price.

Not bad for the price, pretty light weight. The tip flexes a little but it's only $89 so about what I expect. The paddle may be too short for taller individuals, causing discomfort or poor posture while paddling.

Pros
  • ‎35.8 x 9.25 x 3.3 inches
Cons
  • The paddle may be too short for taller individuals, causing discomfort or poor posture while paddling

Turbulence from either side of blade

I bought this paddle to replace a stolen paddle fory Kona SUP. It looks nice and feels sturdy, but creates a lot of turbulence for anything beyond casual strokes. I tried both sides of the blade and it feels heavy and turbulent I'm the water compared to my stolen Kona paddle.

Pros
  • Super Lightweight and stable. Made my experience 10x better.
Cons
  • The adjustable shaft may cause discomfort or blisters on the hands if not adjusted properly

I had high hopes for this discounted carbon fiber paddle. But it only took 15 seconds to realize it wasn't going to work! The blade and shaft look and feel nice, but they completely CHEAPED OUT on the handle! It literally is like a thin kids toy, it can be pushed in with my thumbs. There is a molded seam right ON TOP OF THE HANDLE. Bad news bears. 5 minutes into paddling with wet hands and your hand would be torn up. Too bad. If they had spent just a few more dollars on the grip it would have…

Pros
  • ‎36.5 x 10.4 x 3.6 inches
Cons
  • The adjustable shaft may be too difficult to change positions while on the water

Love the paddle!: my feedback

I had an injury at the same time I received the paddle so I am just now using it and it is perfect. Easy to assemble. Nice paddle bag. It seems robust. It performed well. .

Pros
  • We are new to SUP'ing and so far really like the paddle
Cons
  • The paddle may be too lightweight, resulting in difficult control in windy or rough waters

Attentive customer service and Updated design

Originally ordered and had to return due to a stress fracture when extended fully. Was pleasantly surprised by the proactive customer service not only when they reached out to try to remedy the problem, it appears they also updated the design by reinforcing the connecting joints as well as extending the length of tubing. Stay tuned for how this performs in reality but pretty encouraged by what I've seen.

Pros
  • PREMIUM PADDLE BAG: All paddles come with a free travel bag (size in 36’’x11’’). With superb quality zipper, handle, shoulder strap and inner flap for the blade, this bag provides perfect protection as well as convenience for travelling.
Cons
  • The 3-section design may make it more challenging to pack or transport for longer trips
