What Amazon says it does

A paddle that splits in two for easy carrying!

• The shaft is anodized aluminum, which Amazon says resists saltwater. Total length is 218 cm (86 inches), and the listing calls it a fit for both beginners and intermediate kayakers.
• You can set the feathering angle to 0 or 60 degrees (left or right) to cut down on wind resistance.
• The blade is generously sized, designed to reduce effort and fatigue with each stroke.
• The shaft detaches into two sections for easy carrying and space-saving storage.
• It has a baked-paint finish with a comfortable grip, and drip rings at both ends to keep water from running down the shaft onto your hands. The title also calls it floatable.

What to check before you buy

• Confirm the 86-inch length suits your kayak and your height.
• Check how you want to set the feathering angle (0 or 60 degrees).
• The specs on this page don't include a weight, so check the Amazon listing if weight matters to you.
