Oru Paddle

It's decent

I'll preface by saying I'm a kayaking noob, only been out a 1/2 dozen times. This paddle I got to replace a fixed length aluminium paddle as I wanted something i could lengthen for gentler paddling or tighten up for narrower waterways/tunnels or power strokes. It works well for this. I do notice some flex in the shaft, more than with my old aluminium paddle, but that could just be a consequence of the fiberglass material. Overall, it works well and its not a deal breaker for the versatility.

Better than ever!

Note improved locking ferrule and appreciate replacement paddle under warranty! Thank you!

Just missing one thing. . .

The paddle worked great - very easy to assemble/extend/collapse. My only complaint is the lack of hand grips (which is something I can add on my own, so still 5 stars!)
