Review on Abahub Carbon SUP Paddle: Lightweight 67" - 86" Adjustable 3-Section Carbon Fiber Oars With Carrying Bag by Juan Russell

I bent the original aluminum Wavestorm SUP paddle that came with my Wavestorm SUP. I knew I wanted carbon fiber instead of aluminum to prevent this from happening again. I first searched customer reviews. I wanted to spend less than $100 on a paddle. I was also looking for a blue paddle to match the current SUP that I have. This paddle fit all my criteria with a couple unexpected bonus features. It had good customer reviews, was less than $100, and the swirled white in the blue was an added plus since my SUP is blue and white.I have used the paddle now for a couple weeks. It seems to work better than the original paddle since the carbon fiber shaft flexes with the water without bending. The shape of the paddle also seems to allow greater pull while also making the pull easier. The paddle breaks down into three small pieces, yet is quite sturdy when assembled. The fact that it is easy to break down and stores in the provided bag for travel, is an unexpected plus.Overall, the paddle meets my needs and exceeded my expectations since it is so much better than my original paddle. I love how easy it is to adjust the height of the paddle. This can even be done while standing on the SUP, which would have been impossible with my last paddle. My only minor complaint is that the snapping mechanism that locks the paddle in place at the top could be slightly tighter. It is very easy to open, which makes it seem less secure to hold the height of the paddle in place. Although, I have not experienced any slippage of the paddle height. Other than that, I find the paddle to be excellent and will recommend the brand to others in the future.
