OCEANBROAD Kayak Paddle 86in/218cm, 90.5in/230cm, 95in/241cm Alloy Shaft Kayaking Boating Canoeing Oar with Paddle Leash 1 Paddle

I bought this paddle for several reasons, one being its bright green color. Besides looking good on my kayak (especially once I get more green accessories), it can also get attention from boats passing by to help make sure I’m seen on the water, for safety reasons.I bought a 240cm paddle to downsize from the 250cm Pelican Poseidon Angler that I had previously bought. One thing I learned was if your paddle is the wrong size then it causes all sorts of problems. The Pelican was too long and was fatiguing my shoulders to use it. I tried my wife’s 230cm and it was much better but felt just too short so I went in the middle with a 240cm and it worked out perfectly. I chose this Ocean Broad for the value, the cost was very reasonable, and it appeared to be of good quality just looking at the pics, and when it arrived it did not disappoint. This Ocean Broad is every bit the same quality as the Pelican paddle.The two halves snap together firmly and do not wobble. The blades are made of a stout poly material and do not flex during use. One thing I like about them is that they do not have the drip notches carved into them that the Pelican paddle does, and that is another reason I got it. The Pelican was slinging water on me due to those notches, bypassing the drip rings altogether. I noticed if I used it upside down then it was better, so I when I was looking for a new paddle I knew I wanted one that just had smooth edges. This Ocean Broad was the one, it does not have those notches and does not sling water on me like the Pelican did. The smooth blade edges combined with the drip rings on the shaft work together to prevent that. The water runs along the edges of the blades until it contacts the drip rings and then it drips off at a different angle, falling back into the lake instead. I slid the rings all the way down to the ends of the shaft next to the blades to stop water drip before it gets over my kayak. The rings themselves are made of a hard rubber, not like those whanny, squishy little cups found on some other paddles. They are very durable.This paddle also has shrink wrap grips to hold onto, and they provide a good grip even when wet. Also the shaft does not have the flattened, oval area for the right hand grip that a lot of other paddles have. To me, I like this better, I prefer a round shaft to grip for both hands.Weight is what you would expect. It’s not as light as a fiberglass paddle costing $100 but it certainly is not heavy either. I used it for 3 hours straight on the first trip out with it, and I did not get tired.This is a long review for a low cost paddle, but I just wanted to describe it to let others know who might be skeptical of it based on that low cost and seeming lack of features that higher cost paddles have. To me, this is what makes it desirable. It’s got all it needs to make a dependable paddle for traveling way up the lake with no worried about getting back, and to make that trip enjoyable. The fact that it’s easy on the wallet is a bonus.

good length, strong and sturdy, good design, well worth getting. natural paddle feel

The media could not be loaded.  This is a great "cheaper" paddle. I love to sit and adventure around with my dog in different areas in OR and WA. Ive used this paddle primarily in freshwater lakes/rivers and had no issues.Most I've used in 1 setting was about 3 miles or so and the paddle pulls really well. It is more narrow so if im trying to go longer distance, i pull with longer strokes and overall im very happy!Ive bought other colors for other friends and they all love it as well. Its light, sturdy, and a good length. I added grips to help my hands be more comfortable.This retailer does have more expensive options but I bought the 35$ one and its really light but still feels very strong.Photos are Lost Lake, St Clair and Willamette river. #paddleboardbarbie

Works good, the leash is nit high quality

We bought some starter kayaks that were only about 8' long and came with short "child" paddles. These arrived quickly, assembled quickly, and were less expensive than nearby box stores. Love that we don't get wet while paddling anymore because the paddles are long enough to stay away from the inside of the kayak. Seem to be good quality and should last.

The grips feel wonderful and the overall weight feels good, this is my first paddle so take that in to account

Sturdy and snap together for security.

This paddle arrived at my door on the specified day with no dents or dings to the box. It arrived last week and I used it for the first time today with my Pelican Argo 100xr. I was quite happy with how the paddle performed and propelled the kayak quite effortlessly. The handle has a coating of some sort that makes it very easy to hang onto, even when it is wet. The paddle is light-weight, sturdy and I was pleasantly surprised at its quality, especially for the price. I admit that I am very new to paddling and I have only used a higher-end paddle, a Werner, twice, but this Oceanboard 230 cm paddle performs just as well. It's just not made with the fancy materials the higher-priced paddles are. I wholeheartedly recommend this paddle to anyone.

J’adore cette pagaie! Je la trouve parfaite! 😊

I was really pleased with this paddle. It is well made and works as well as any $400 paddle out there. The included paddle leash is great for convenience and safety. Great product at a great price.

Very happy with the quality of this paddle. Worked great for paddle boarding

Thought it was the same as our other paddle as they look basically the same. But after switching to our old paddle realized that it wasn't as fast . Still a good paddle if you both have the same one.
