Stand up paddleboarding with a long double bladed paddle is a game changer!   Plus the paddle can be used the traditional way with one blade, and it serves as a sit down kayak paddle also. The package includes the nylon  bag with compartments to keep the three blades, the handle, and the centre in great shape.   The shaft is aluminum, the blades are a mix of fibreglass and polypropylene with a TPE edge for durabiity.
 
The paddle weighs approximately 3.78 pounds when used with both long blades for stand up kayak style paddling and it's length adjusts from 10 feet to just under 13 feet long.
 
For single bladed paddling, there are 2 options. 
The paddle with the short blade and the handle weighs 2.17 pounds and adjusts from 75 to 85 inches.
The paddle with the long blade and the handle weights 2.56 pounds and adjusts from 75 to 100 inches.
 
For seated kayak style paddling, therefore using one long blade and one short blade it weighs approximately 3.39 pounds, and adjusts from approximately 93 inches to over 115 inches. It's fun to try the paddle in it's many possibilities and find what feels best for you. 
 
 Kayak style paddling in a standing position is a great core workout.   Trim down your waist and get that six pack going while having fun in the sun!
 
If you have ever wanted to try double bladed paddleboarding now is the time.  The paddle is very expensive to ship as the centre shaft is very long and I'm throwing in free shipping for the next month!   And the thing about the long centre shaft is that you do not run into the knuckle when you are sliding your hand along while changing sides.   It's the one of the best aluminum paddles out there for that reason, the long shaft makes it very stiff and the two screw clamps are smooth and durable.   You will love it.   It's over 50 dollars to ship it across the street for crying out loud so for 150 you are getting this beast for 100 dollars.    What's the matter are you afraid of what your friends are going to say, what, when you have no fat at all on your waist cause this sucker has worked your obliques into oblivion.  Be a leader.   It's a little slower out of the gate but once you are up to speed it's easy to keep it there.  You can do neat things with sweep turns and pivot turns if you experiment with it.   For beginners it serves as a long balancing beam and not having to switch sides they just get up and go like they have been doing it their whole life.   Those who try it buy it that is how it goes.
