It telescopes from 20 inches up to 42 inches, giving you a compact package for storage and a full-length paddle for actual use, which makes it a practical addition to an emergency kit for small boats, jet skis, river tubes, and other watercraft where a full-size paddle will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction pairs a corrosion-resistant aluminum shaft with a high-impact plastic blade, so the paddle holds up in both salt and fresh water without rusting or cracking under normal use. The paddle is finished in bright orange for visibility, which helps you spot it quickly in an emergency, and it is designed to float if it is dropped overboard rather than sinking out of reach. When fully expanded to 42 inches, the added length gives extra leverage and reach for paddling or pushing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a single-item paddle intended as an emergency or backup paddling solution rather than a primary touring paddle, and its telescoping design means it collapses down to a compact 20-inch length for easy storage in a hatch, under a seat, or in a dry bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
