Review on Abahub Carbon Fiber SUP Paddles - Lightweight Stand-Up Paddle Oars With Adjustable 3-Section Shaft (67"-86") And Carrying Bag For Paddleboards by Jignesh Shaffer

After using this paddle for about 1 season and the start of the next, this paddle is a nightmare. That may sound dramatic, but putting the paddle together and taking it apart is a two person job. This can not be right. I feel as if the paddle is flawed. It is near impossible to fit the paddle to the middle section with the push button clasp. We literally have to spend 10 minutes just trying to turn and force the pieces together. Finally, they are together, now the hardest part. Breaking down the paddle to transport back in the bag. I have to have another person hold the paddle while I pull the middle piece apart. It is awful. I am hoping the company will either confirm this is how this paddle operates, or correct this problem. It should not take the amount of effort it does to put this thing together and break it down.Actually using it, I have no complaints. But a inflatable paddle board is pretty useless if I can not put together and break down my paddle to fit in the backpack. FIX THIS! And do not buy if you are looking for something that should be easy to use.
