The length is adjustable and slides between 225cm, 230cm and 235cm. Of course this means that you can also adjust the feathering angle to what ever you like rather than only at a few fixed positions from the aluminium version. The fibreglass shaft is warmer on the hands on the colder morning and of course it breaks down into four pieces ready to easily pack into your kayak kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- IMAGE: suggested shot – full paddle laid flat beside an inflatable kayak on the beach --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Lengths in One Paddle – 225cm, 230cm or 235cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush the shaft all the way in and you've got a 225cm paddle. Pull it out to the first notch for 230cm, then again for 235cm. Why does that matter? On an inflatable kayak you've got side tubes beside you, and a longer paddle lets you reach over them without bashing your knuckles on every stroke. Jump into a narrower hard-shell or touring kayak and you can shorten it right up for a more vertical, efficient stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- IMAGE: suggested shot – close-up of the length adjustment and locking mechanism --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFully Adjustable Feathering for More Power with Less Effort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeathering simply refers to the angle of one blade compared with the other. Some paddlers like their blades locked flat, and this paddle does that no worries. But most right-handers find an offset of around 45 to 50 degrees lets them use a more vertical stroke, so the power comes from your torso and legs as you rotate rather than just your arms and biceps. Brace your feet, twist through the stroke and you'll feel the difference straight away, especially on a long day or into a headwind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard Jaspara 4-part paddle has fixed feathering positions (60 deg left, right or centre). This adjustable kayak paddle gives you full variability, so if you like your blades really offset, or only a touch, you can set it exactly how you like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- IMAGE: suggested shot – blades shown flat vs feathered at 45 degrees --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFibreglass Shaft – Warm to Touch and Lighter Than You'd Think\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaft is fibreglass rather than aluminium. It's warmer in the hands on those chilly early-morning paddles, with none of the icy-metal feel, and it's lighter too. That saving offsets the extra weight of the adjustable locking mechanism, so the whole paddle comes in at around 1219g, on par with our fixed-length aluminium paddle. You get the extra adjustability without carrying any extra weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBreaks Down into 4 Parts – Packs Away with Your Kayak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of our Jaspara paddles, this one breaks down into four sections at just 65 cm long. It slides straight into your inflatable kayak bag alongside the kayak, pump and seat, so everything lives in one bag. That's handy if you're in a caravan, campervan or apartment, or just don't want a 2.3 metre paddle rattling around the back of your car boot. Pair it with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ultralight-kayak-paddle-leash\"\u003eUltralight Kayak Paddle Leash\u003c\/a\u003e so it never floats off should it end up in the water accidentally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- IMAGE: suggested shot – paddle broken down into 4 pieces next to the kayak bag --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality Asymmetrical Blades for a Smooth, Controlled Stroke\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nylon blades are tough but have just the right amount of give. Their asymmetrical-dihedral shape lets water flow evenly across the face and cuts down on blade flutter. The result is a smoother, steadier stroke that tracks nicely and won't have your kayak wiggling from side to side. They measure 45.7cm × 15.9cm, a great all-round size for recreational paddling, touring and kayak fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Care – A Quick Rinse After Salt Water\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's not much to maintaining this paddle. The one thing to keep an eye on is the pin locks and the adjustable locking mechanism. After a paddle in salt water, give them a good rinse with fresh water to flush out any salt and sand. Do that and it'll keep clicking together smoothly for years.
