Attwood Emergency Orange Telescoping Paddles are a reliable and essential tool for any water sports enthusiast. With a collapsed length of 20 3/4 inches, these paddles easily telescope out to a length of 42 inches, providing the perfect reach for your canoeing or kayaking adventures.

Made with a corrosion-resistant aluminum shaft and a high-impact plastic blade, these paddles are built to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting durability. Despite their sturdy construction, they weigh just 1 lb., 5 ozs, making them lightweight and easy to handle.

Now, let's address some FAQs about these paddles:

Does it float? This is a valid question and a rather important one for a canoe paddle, don't you think? I received my paddle today and used it for the first time on a lake raft trip with my grandchildren. Unfortunately, I must clarify that this paddle DOES NOT float. This was disappointing, as it was advertised to float. So, if buoyancy is important to you, I would advise against buying this paddle.

I'd like to use this for my toddler when he's on my lap in the kayak. Does it let you set it at different lengths? Thanks! They lock at any length, so you can easily adjust the paddle to the desired length for your toddler's safety and comfort. This feature makes it a convenient choice for families.

What is the diameter of the hole in the handle? I want to put a securing rope through it. The handle of the paddle has a hole that can accommodate a small diameter rope. If you need one, you can find a suitable selection of ropes at Home Depot or Lowe's.

How far does it extend? The paddle from end to end measures 42 inches when fully extended. This length should provide ample reach for most water activities.
