Escape E 2-Piece Kayak Paddle

Looks to be a great beginner's paddle. The blades appear sturdy and the shape I desired. Shaft looks durable and is relatively light weight. Should be perfect for my wife to join me in our new tandem inflatable kayak.

Good beginner recreational kayak paddle. Good value.

Really happy with the way this paddle is performing so far. It's light, allows for feathering, and has nicely crafted, stiff blades. I chose this paddle because reviews elsewhere online said it was basically the perfect paddle for up to intermediate kayakers: based on my experience so far, I agree. Great value for $$ also.

I own several paddles at several price points. I like the economy paddles for kayak fishing or when I know I might be in rocky shallow waters. Feels better than the competitor paddle at the same price point. Feels lighter too. Cuts through water like butter. Very impressed for a low price point paddle.

While not the lightest paddle on the market, I recently took this paddle (240 cm) on a quick 4 mile flat paddle in a Perception Pescador 12' kayak (28" width) with excellent results. The paddle is efficient, offering great power and control. The rubber 'oval' grip sections, while not really oval-shaped, are comfortable and offer a good grip on the paddle, and the drip rings function well to keep the user dry. The two sides of the paddle shaft fit together precisely with no perceivable play at the joint. I'd recommend this paddle to anyone looking for a great mid-level flat water or day touring paddle that's worth every bit of the price.
