Oru Kayak 4-Piece Paddle for Portable Folding Kayaks

very easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the paddle & backpack free with my kayak order. It's a mid-weight paddle. A great starter item, until you figure out your specific needs. It gets you where you need to go without too much effort. Like the stiffness of the blades. It's great that it breaks down into 4 pieces. It comes apart easily. The mesh case is a nice touch. Like that it sports the Oru colors. I would recommend this product.

I took my new Oru Inlet Lake onto my pool after assembly just to test it out. Putting it together was fun and exciting for me and I think I'll get better and better at it the more I practice! I cannot wait to get this thing out on the lakes nearby! I'm thrilled!

I love LOVE my new Lake Kayak!! I could not be more thrilled with being able to drive to the lake at 4:30 after work and go relax on the water. It is a new found freedom for me. I'm older and can not lift the original type kayak on the roof of my SUV. I have gone several times by myself on the lake and feel absolutely fantastic about the experience. It is easy to set up and tear down. I just throw it in the back of my car and I do make sure that I rinse it when I get home. Do not take it over rocks. I will say I have broke the adjustable seat already. I don't know what happened with that when I undid it it was broke. So be very careful with that. But I feel safe and I have gone where I have hit a few waves. And it has not flipped my kayak like some reviews said it would do. I absolutely would suggest this to any person who wants to do this alone. I feel safe and empowered. I couldn't be more thrilled❤️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK, so I watched many many videos and I had to practice setting it up several times before I got it really all figured out now it goes quite easily

Keeping in mind that this paddle was part of the convenience add-on package, it struck us as quite solid and easy to use. The space-age wrap on the handgrip areas make gloves truly optional. . . :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Oru paddle is a bit heavy compared to my more expensive carbon fiber paddles but I like the transportability of the four-part design and the ease of length adjustment. A nice compliment to the easily transportable kayak.

Hello! I'm genuinely pleased with my purchase overall, and the convenience of storage and transportation is incredible! However, I've been out on 3 different lakes this since opening them up the first time and I do believe my second Oru Lake has a leak somewhere. There's no obvious signs on damage, and as I said I've used them both 3 times. The first time going out it was dry as bone inside (aside from some dripping from the paddle of course), but most recently I had to go to shore twice in the two hours I was out to dump out excess water. This is only in the black Oru Lake, my white one has no problems that I can tell. Aside from the damp tush and slight fear of sinking, I do really love these kayaks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The paddle works ok, but tends to move around a bit. Not my favorite and I'll be buying a different one, but will keep for a backup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For people with long torsos the puny and flimsy seat is useless. I've been out twice for a couple hours and came back each time with my back wrecked. The seat folds in half backward like a cheap suit. It needs to be taller and include some horizontal ribs to be of any use.
