Abahub 1 x 3 Section Carbon Fiber SUP Paddle, Adjustable 67''-86'' Stand Up Paddle Lightweight Carbon Shaft, Black/Blue/Yellow/Green/Orange/Red Plastic Blade + Paddle Bag

I love this paddleboard paddle. I bought several. So far, this one is my favorite. Great weight, grabs the water. And the travel case it came with (which requires you to disassemble the paddle) is a high-value bonus, to me. I wish I'd bought this paddle and not all the others, including an expensive, used one that I cannot return.This paddle checked all the boxes for me.

This is the 3rd paddle I've tried since I got into this last year (I've been going a ton. like 2-3 times a week, 4-7 miles / paddle) and all the problems I had with the other paddles I bought previously are totally solved with this one.I love the 3-part design because it fits in my inflatable sup bag (2-part paddles do not).It's super light which is great, and I like the shape of the paddle face itself and the grip of the handle is comfy.Most importantly, it's really strong. I love the carbon fiber shaft and the quality of the mechanical assembly. I'm a big guy and generally paddle pretty hard, so I need a paddle that doesn't bend or deform. My last two paddles both started bending at the point where the parts connect (one of them eventually snapped), and the bending, even when it was small, made it really difficult to slide the shaft parts up/down. Not only did that make it so I couldn't disassemble it completely and thus couldn't fit it in my bag, but I also couldn't adjust the paddle length while paddling. With the Abahub, adjusting the length is super smooth and quick (I don't even have to look), so when I need to drop down onto my knees in some heavy wind or something, I can slide it down into the shorter length in one quick motion.Very cool that they include the paddle bag for free, too.

We use these paddles for paddle boarding. They are lightweight and durable. Easy to adjust the length.

This paddle is pretty great for the price. It is definitely lighter than the paddle that came with my SUP which is a crappy but sturdy one. It does make it a lot more pleasant to paddle for a longer time. What I really like about it is the carrying case. It looks cool like I have a banjo or something, and makes the paddle so much easier to transport and store. I keep it in my car all summer so it is nice to have everything organized instead of all the pieces flopping around. The one negative thing is that the handle grip has a rough seam. So far it hasn't cut my hand or made a blister but I was sad that the handle grip was crappier than my crappy paddle. Too bad.

This arrived packed in its own little carrier! That was a nice surprise, it slots in easily and makes sure I don’t lose any parts. I had been having major issues with blistered fingers and palms with the paddle that came with my inflatable board. I tried wearing gloves and that didn’t help. A friend recommended a carbon fibre paddle and I found this one at a very reasonable price. And what a difference it makes! Not only in zero blisters, but also in ease of paddling, being able to go faster and overall, just generally a vast improvement. There are probably more expensive and more technical paddles out there. I’m a moderate paddle boarder, and this is absolutely perfect for me. I just did 6 miles last night and it was against a lot of wind! The paddle made a big difference. Highly recommended.

I have several paddle board rental businesses in Mexico and finding a paddle that is sturdy enough for rental business and yet still performs at a high level is always our main challenge. We keep extra paddles on hand with extra parts for repair but they get damaged so often that it's hard to keep up with the attrition. I recently brought the 3-piece Abahub carbon fiber paddle with me to Mexico and have found it to be the best value paddle we have had to date and will be using this paddle from here on for our fleet. The 3-piece is surprisingly sturdy as is but for insurance we have wrapped each connection with black waterproof tape to improve strength. Michael in customer service at Abahub was kind enough to help us with his recommendations on maintaining the paddles even through their own issues with Coronavirus. In the future we will probably order the 2-piece paddle but do not be afraid of the 3-piece if you are limited by travel restrictions. Note the picture where we have used the silicone tape on 3 critical areas. We feel this will reduce impact from salt water and add some structural strength. Always be sure to rinse paddle with fresh water after each days use. We also keep extra stainless steel spring pins on hand as they tend to wear out after a couple of years.

Been through a few paddles trying to find one that's lightweight, sturdy and adjustable and this one checks all the boxes! I'm all of 5'2 125' and this paddle works for me very well. I love the protective carrying case too!

Easy to assemble and lightweight. Extremely helpful measurements for purposeful adjustments. Nice blade design and case so no more worries regarding the paddle flying out your truck cargo area!
