I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

FAQs:

Q: What is the length of this paddle?

A: The Universal paddle will be 230cm in length.

Q: Is the shaft supposed to be two different color blues? I have the left side which is like a royal blue and the right is more like a light blue.

A: No. It sounds like the aluminum tubes were anodized in two separate batches and then mixed by mistake. If you would like to exchange your paddle for one with more consistent coloring, please contact our Customer Service Department by emailing [email protected] or calling 888-525-2925.

Q: Can the handles be adjusted for rotation during paddling - so the blades are perpendicular to each other?

A: Yes, they can. There is a silver button mid-handle. Also, there some holes mid-handle to accommodate the silver button. Compress the button and spin the handle in order to align the paddles. I hope this helps? R. A. Reyes

Q: What are the dimensions of the paddle?

A: Total length is 230cm. Blade dimensions are 7 inches wide and 17 inches long.
