Crooked Creek Telescoping Boat Paddle 24 to 36 Inches with Boat Hook Head, Anodized Aluminum Shaft - Part 50465

The Crooked Creek Telescoping Paddle (part 50465) is a two-stage boat paddle that extends from 24 inches to 36 inches, with a sturdy boat hook head built into the blade end. A smooth twist-lock collar holds the shaft firmly at any position within that extended range, so the paddle can be set to the length that suits the boater and locked in place for use.

The shaft is anodized aluminum, giving it corrosion resistance for use in fresh or salt water environments, while the blade is molded from high-impact ABS plastic. Both the anodized aluminum shaft and the ABS blade are buoyant, so the paddle floats rather than sinks if it goes over the side. The two-stage telescoping design collapses down to a compact 6.46 x 20.4 x 1.06 inch stored size, making it easy to stow in a boat locker, kayak hatch, or under a seat, and at 1.25 pounds it is light enough to keep on board without adding noticeable weight.

This paddle is intended as a general-purpose backup or maneuvering paddle for boats, useful for pushing off a dock, fending off obstacles with the boat hook head, or paddling short distances if the motor fails. It is backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
