Retractable ABS Paddle — durable, lightweight, and ready for on-water use Key benefits Durable, low-maintenance construction: Made from ABS material that resists deformation and stands up to repeated use. If dropped overboard, the paddle will float, reducing the risk of loss and time spent retrieving or replacing it. Better propulsion and control: Thickened blades increase the contact area with the water for improved thrust, helping you maintain speed and directional control across different conditions. Compact and adjustable for convenience: Telescoping handle adjusts from 56 cm to 106 cm and locks securely. The paddle folds down to 56 cm for easy transport and compact storage with other safety or emergency gear. Versatile and compatible: Suitable for a variety of small craft — usable as a primary paddle or a reliable spare for boats, kayaks, inflatables and other watercraft. Features and specifications Material: ABS blades and durable shaft construction for long service life and impact resistance. Blade design: Thickened blade profile to increase water contact and provide efficient propulsion. Length adjustment: Telescoping handle adjusts from 56 cm up to 106 cm to fit different users and craft; quick and secure locking mechanism. Folded length: Collapses to 56 cm for transport and storage. Handle: Non-slip grip for secure handling in wet conditions. Buoyancy: Floats if dropped in water, reducing the chance of losing the paddle. Weight and portability: Lightweight design that packs into standard safety kits or onboard storage. How this solves common problems Prevents lost gear: Floating design avoids losing a paddle if it slips overboard. Reduces bulk and hassle: Telescoping and foldable design saves space in limited storage areas and makes the paddle easy to carry. Improves performance: Thickened blades boost propulsion without adding excessive weight, giving better speed and control without tiring the paddler. Fits multiple users and craft: Adjustable length and universal blade shape make it suitable for different boats and paddling styles. Practical use scenarios Weekend kayak trip: Use the paddle as your main oar for a single- or tandem-kayak. Adjust the length for comfort, then collapse it for easy storage in the hatch when not in use. Fishing from a small boat or inflatable: The thick blades give steady propulsion while maneuvering into position; folded size fits compactly in your onboard safety kit or under the seat. Emergency or backup paddle: Keep the folded paddle in a boat’s emergency kit or a life raft — its floating ability and adjustable handle make it a dependable spare if another paddle is lost or damaged.
