Full Carbon Paddleboard Paddle

This is a great paddle, and the one I reached for all summer. I had what I thought was a full carbon fiber paddle prior to that, and bought this one for my son to use so he'd feel the difference when we went paddling together. Welp. Once I put this one together I immediately felt the weight difference and knew my other CF paddle wasn't 100% carbon fiber. Guess which one my son got? Hey, we're always told to take care of ourselves first, right?Used almost every day of the summer on the paddleboard — on lakes, saltwater and high waves — and even while crabbing on the Salish sea. GREAT paddle, delivers in every way.

Unlike a lot of paddles that say they are carbon fiber, it is usually on the shaft. There really isn't much weight savings. The Thurso Elite is full carbon fiber, handle and paddle included. The handle is very comfortable and smooth seams. The locking mechanisms are clamping as well as a metal snap on the bottom piece. All the pieces fit together well with no issues and stayed tight. The markings are nice and I like the addition of adding a height chart. It is easy to swap between people and adjusts back. There were no QC issue sin the weave or seams. You can also convert this paddle to a double paddle with a full CF paddle. The only issue I have is that at this price, it would have been nice to get a bag or some kind of protective piece at this price. CF is pretty fragile so this would have made a more complete package. Otherwise, for the money, this is a top of the line paddle and so far has worked really well.

This is the best paddle that I have ever seen, used, or owned as of today! This paddle is not only light, but it's also strong and the fit and finish is flawless. Anybody that is on the water a lot will tell you that the best paddles available are the carbon fiber ones. The pushing power that you get from this paddle is insane. To say that I love this SUP paddle is an understatement! There are three pieces that fit solidly together, and the marker pole stays in place. This carbon fiber paddle has a double lock installation system with no rattling, twisting, or movement. It is so well built that it acts like one solid piece. I love that the paddle does break down into 3 pieces because it makes for easy carrying and storage. It would have been nice if they would have included a carrying case, but that's not a make or break deal for me. This carbon paddle feels great in your hands, and there aren't any rough or sharp edges at the seams. The carbon fiber shaft only weighs 25 ounces, which is 708 grams, and it actually does float. It can easily be adjusted from 71" to 87". If you have a kayak that you want to use it with they give you the option of purchasing another blade. We may actually buy it because we do have several kayaks and I would love to use it with them as well. I love the look, the feel, and the portability of it! The angle of this paddle is incredible! I have never felt such easy and perfect cutting through the water as I have with this paddle. It takes all the work out of paddling and brings back the fun! I highly recommend this paddle!

So incredibly lightweight and easy to use. Absolutely worth it. Adjusts to my height at 5:6 fairly well. I would say this is the best paddle, the quality feels amazing. It's pukka lightweight carbon fiber. Whenever I talk to my friends and try their paddles. This is the lightest one.Breaks into 3 parts so it's easy to transport. I'm very happy with it.
