This lightweight paddle is easy to adjust and change to different lengths?all it takes is a quick twist. The aluminum shaft collapses into the paddle for compact storage, and you can tuck in under boat seats or in front-end compartments. The aluminum shaft is durable, yet lightweight and corrosion resistant. The blade is high impact and molded for superior control when moving through the water. There?s also a nylon bag where you can tuck away the paddle for safekeeping, no matter where you store it. Paddlers also love the bright orange paddle blade, which doubles as an emergency signaling device when waved in the air. 2
