OCEANBROAD Telescoping Emergency Paddle 42'' Collapsible Paddles Aluminium Shaft for Kayaing Boating Canoeing River Tubing, Orange, 1 Paddle

We bought this to keep in our jetski while out on the intercoastal just in case we stall out. It is compact enough and expands enough to make it useful.

This is a great paddle for Jon boats and such. Shorten it up stick it in the corner, or for a nice sturdy paddle.

I recently purchased the OCEANBROAD Telescoping Emergency Paddle, hoping to have a reliable emergency solution for my watercraft. Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been less than satisfactory.The paddle boasts a collapsible design and an aluminum shaft, which initially seemed promising. However, the main issue lies with the friction lock mechanism, which is supposed to secure the paddle in the desired position. Unfortunately, it fails to do so effectively. No matter how much force I applied, I couldn't get the lock to hold the paddle firmly in place.This flaw significantly diminishes the usability and reliability of the paddle. In an emergency situation, the last thing you want is to struggle with equipment that doesn't function as intended. As a result, I have no choice but to return this product.While the concept of the OCEANBROAD Telescoping Emergency Paddle is sound, the execution falls short due to the unreliable friction lock mechanism. I would advise potential buyers to consider other options that offer more reliable locking mechanisms for peace of mind in emergency situations.

Came disassembled without instructions and not clear how to fasten the handles. Poor quality, made in china

This is great to have on my kayak in case I lose my paddle. This is sturdy and strong. You can open it to extend it all the way or partway, depending on your needs. This is small enough to tuck under my bungee cord on my little kayak, so I'll always have it available. Great product and customer service.

Very sturdy and super compact paddle, this thing works great I was pleased that the telescopic handy was very well made and this is quite a nice paddle to have in any watercraft.
