Its high-performance carbon fiber shaft is exceptionally light yet extremely stiff, providing responsive paddle strokes. Where you'll notice the difference in weight of carbon fiber over aluminum shafts the most is on longer days or multi-day trips. An adjustable length makes it perfect for families or having as a spare when you have guests of different heights or several kayaks in your fleet. Drip rings are included to prevent water from running off the paddle and entering your kayak (particularly important for sit-in kayak use).

Choosing paddle length
When considering paddle length, a good rule to follow is to choose a paddle that's 30cm or roughly a foot taller than you when holding it upright. Also, make sure to take into account the width of your kayak in addition to your height. The greater the kayak's width, the longer the paddle length needed to reach the water. If you have a sit-on-top kayak and your seat is raised six inches or more above the base, add approximately three inches to your paddle length.
