AIRHEAD 86 inch kayak paddle breaks down into 4 sections for compact storage. The blades are asymmetrical to equalize the force on both sides of the blade when paddling, which in turn results in less twisting of the paddle. The high impact plastic blades are lightweight and reinforced with fiberglass for added durability. Blade angles are adjustable with a simple release of the spring loaded pin and a twist of the lightweight anodized aluminum shaft
