Super light and rigid
"Have yet to get out on the water, but o am tell this is half the weight of the paddle I have been using. Feels great!"
Great!
"Much better than the cheap versions I get at the local sporting goods store. I especially like the 4-piece breakdown. Way better to hike with."
Alpine Lake Paddle
"Worked just as advertised and the right weight/length to get me where I needed to go!"

Lightweight and portable
"I love that I can break this in half and roll this paddle up in my packraft. It’s relatively lightweight, works well and fits on the roof box for adventures. The button clicks with ease so my fingers don’t hurt when I try to break down the paddle."
The raft is fun to
"The raft is fun to use and is packed with just the right amount of features. However, on rivers it wants to flip around and go backwards, and so requires constant course corrections. That's made worse on shallow rivers where you can't use the fin. That handling characteristic gets old on multi-day float trips."
Just what the doctor ordered
"This paddle is light, small and sturdy. Does exactly what you want it to do. When I'm out fishing it gets me around and doesnt get in the way. I only use it on flat water so maybe that's why. My only question is: does the shorter side go up or down? I think down."
Solid paddle
"This is my 4th alpine paddle. They break down nicely and fit into my 50L pack without any issues. I like that I can turn it into a 3 piece for back country lake missions."
Four piece
"Nice and light and easy to pack."
