Don't Leave Land Without It!
By NapoleonOfTheNow
This is the BEST paddle for the price PERIOD.

I bought this paddle at Dicks when I bought my first kayak years ago. I still use the same one every time and three kayaks later (extra kayaks and more expensive of course) I am buying this paddle again and recommended it to my father. He has tried other ones that were higher priced and he has come to love the SeaSense also.

Some two-piece paddles have a loose fit in the center or develop a loose fit over time. The Seasense 8690 has a snug fit, and I am talking about the first one I bought, it still is snug. The handle area is padded which is great for long trips upstream. The padded area increases grip. I am 5'9" and enjoy the length because it gives me so much more stroke (this paddle also comes in an 80-some-odd-inch length: model 8680?). The length also empowers me to make more aggressive turns. This paddle is light and strong, its not carbon-fiber but its strong. The ends are plastic, the right combination of flexiblity and rigidity. The feel in the water is obviously to my liking.

SeaSense Aluminum Kayak Paddles
By Boni
Very comfortable. They may be just a tad too long for a shorter person.

Good for the price
By Sandra J. Haupt
I have purchased 2 paddles for my kayak previously--a basic aluminum shaft starter paddle and an expensive carbon paddle. Several freinds have expressed interest in starting to paddle, one being 6 ft 4 in tall. Both of my paddles were too short for him to use in my boat. I purchased this
paddle just to get him started comfortably. He loved it. We both thought for the recreational, occasional flat water paddler , it was a good value. Well made for the price and comfortable to use. He felt the cupped design of the blade helped him get more out of his stroke. Recommend for tall beginners out for a leisurely day on the water.
