IDBF Approved Lightweight Adjustable Carbon Fiber Dragon Boat Paddle Dihedral Blade Clamp Adjuster Dragon Racing Boat Paddle

That you can adjust length of paddle

I asked if this paddle needs a hex key to adjust the length and the AI answered no. Not true! You DO NEED a key to release the adjuster clamp. Amazingly IT IS NOT PROVIDED WITH THE PADDLE! We had a few lying around and found one that fit.Otherwise, the paddle is lightweight and arrived in good shape, even though the bubble wrap and foam initially wrapped around the blade had fallen off.Weirdly, the post office failed to notify of delivery, then sent an incorrect notice stating it would arrive a day after it was actually delivered, then stated that the package was placed INSIDE the mailbox.We'll get on the water Saturday, so I'll see how the paddle performs then.

I was afraid it would be a dud, but the paddle holds up. I used it a few times and there's no problems, and it's average weight for a carbon paddle if not lighter. It adjust length well.It came in a TV-sized box (packed diagonally), and the paddle was slightly scratched in some areas.This paddle fits all my needs though, I think even a pro could use this even though it's 1/3 the price of a typical paddle. I'm not sure if it'll hold up but it seems fine so far.

The paddle arrived in box the size of a TV with minimal padding. It came with the corners chipped. I reached out and the seller gave me a partial refund. Shame, the paddle is excellent otherwise. Thin blade edge and light weight. I'm still using the paddle, just super glued the damaged corners to prevent water damage

I ordered this paddle to use instead of my expensive Kialoa paddle for practice especially when we have new paddlers on the boat. I had to search for the IDBF logo plus went on the IDBF site to ensure this brand is approved even though I don't plan t use for racing. Price is right - staff is a bit larger than my race paddle.
