Falcona Longpaddle Carbon Shaft with Polypropylene/Fibreglass Blade
Stand up paddleboarding with a long double bladed paddle is a game changer! Plus the paddle can be used the traditional way with one blade, and it serves as a sit down kayak paddle also. The package includes the nylon padded bag with compartments to keep the three blades, the handle, and the centre shaft scratch free. The shaft is pure carbon fibre, the blades are a mix of fibreglass and polypropylene with a TPE edge for durabiity.
For stand up kayak style paddling the paddle weighs approximately 3.01 pounds when used with both long blades and it's length adjusts from 10 feet to just under 13 feet long.
For single bladed paddling, you have 2 options.
The paddle with the short blade and the handle weighs 1.75 pounds and adjusts from 75 to 85 inches.
The paddle with the long blade and handle weighs approximately 1.99 pounds and adjusts from 75 to 100 inches.
As a sit down kayak paddle with one long blade and one short blade it weighs approximately 2.76 pounds and adjusts from approximately 93 to 108 inches in length.
Kayak style paddling in a standing position is a great core workout plus you won't drip on your dog when switching sides every 3 strokes like you do on a single bladed paddle. Many customers also find it's easier to learn as the long paddle serves to balance you. We call our mid level paddle The Lumsden Tower which was a hike that some campers loved and some campers dreaded at the forever famous Falcona Camp which was the inspiration behind our company name. This paddle is a joy no matter how you use it. It is very stiff, light, durable, and extremely well built.
