01Anyone own this for a while with input have any issues with the locking mechanism? Read on pelican site you are unable to order replacement parts.+
I’ve been using the paddle for three months and I have had no issues whatsoever with the locking mechanism. Love the paddle.

We have had these for a short time - so far, yes. Being adjustable is a nice feature. There is a flap in the center that locks / clamps the paddle at the desired length. The paddle does not slip when locked in place.

I got 35.6 oz for the 240-250cm one.
04Anyone using this paddle for fishing? when i set it down in my lap so i can fish, the paddle rolls. either towards me or away. never stays still!!+
