Airhead P-3 Telescoping Paddle with Boat Hook, 25.5 in - 72 in, Aluminum Shaft
Airhead P-3 Telescoping Paddle with Boat Hook, 25.5 in - 72 in, Aluminum Shaft
The Airhead P-3 Telescoping Paddle with Boat Hook is built for boaters who need a compact, adjustable paddle that stows easily and doubles as a docking aid. A quick twist of the collar lets you extend or collapse the aluminum shaft to any length between 25.5 inches and 72 inches, so the paddle tucks under a boat seat or into a front-end compartment when not in use, then extends out to a full-length reach for higher-profile boats when you need it. The aluminum shaft is corrosion resistant, keeping it durable through repeated exposure to fresh and salt water, while staying light enough to handle comfortably.
The blade is high-impact molded for solid control when paddling through the water, and it is finished in bright orange, a color choice that doubles as an emergency signaling aid when waved overhead. A boat hook handle is built into the design, giving you a dedicated tool for grabbing a dock line, fending off, or retrieving items from the water without carrying a second accessory. A hassle-free locking device holds the shaft firmly at your chosen length so it will not slip or collapse mid-use. It is recommended for use on all boats, making it a practical addition to any onboard safety and boat hook kit.
