Swap the included T-grip handle on or off and it goes from a double-blade kayak paddle to a single-blade SUP paddle, which means one thing to store, one thing to pack, and one thing to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters most on the boards and boats that do both. Sit down and paddle a river tube or an inflatable rigged with a seat, then stand up on the flat stretch, without carrying two paddles to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn kayak mode it adjusts from 224cm to 236cm.

Run it as a double-blade for kayaking, or pull one blade and fit the included T-grip handle to paddle it standing up as a SUP paddle. It takes seconds and no tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs it as good as a dedicated paddle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA purpose-built paddle in either discipline will be lighter and stiffer. What you get here is not having to own and carry both. If you paddle one way almost all the time, buy the dedicated paddle. If you genuinely switch, this is the sensible choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat length does it cover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e224cm to 236cm in kayak mode and 65\" to 82\" in SUP mode. That covers most paddlers in both positions, though very wide fishing kayaks may want the longer Custom Kayak Paddle at 260cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone whose day changes. Sit-down on a tube or a rigged inflatable, stand up on the flats. It is also a sensible one-paddle answer for a household with a couple of different craft in the garage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo four pieces make it flimsy?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore joints means more flex than a one-piece shaft, and you will feel it against a stiff carbon paddle. In exchange it fits in a truck box. That is the trade every breakdown paddle makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the T-grip included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it comes in the box.
