Kwik Tek Deluxe Kayak Paddle 2 sect Alum 84″ Curved Blade Review
If you are looking for a good kayaking paddle, but have limited room, the Kwik Tek Deluxe Kayak Paddle 2 sect Alum 84″ Curved Blade might work well for you. The 7-foot KwikTek AHTK-P2 paddle breaks into two sections for easy transportation and storage.
It offers an adjustable blade angle for both standard and offset paddling, plus the large ABS blades feature curved surfaces for greater paddling efficiency. If you happen to encounter rough rapids and accidentally lose hold of the paddle, the light and durable aluminum shaft along with the drip rings, and foam hand grips will keep the paddle floating until you can safely retrieve it.
The paddle sections each measure 49.5 inches long, with an 8.5 inch wide paddle and a 2-inch diameter. Each section weighs 3 pounds.

Kwik Tek Deluxe Kayak Paddle 2 sect Alum 84″ Curved Blade Reviews:
Many of the reviews were mixed for this product, but in the end there were a fair bit more positive reviews then negative. There seems to be some talk about the paddle being shorter than advertised, but the product title says 84′ not 92″ like it was claimed elsewhere. Some however still feel it could be longer.
Some of the pros for this paddle are a nice durable feel, easy to assemble, a water catcher, and comfortable foam grips. Some of the negatives are, shorter than advertised (although I can’t say what it was advertised as then), might be considered a little overpriced ($30 may be just fine for others), and the button that connects the two pieces isn’t as sturdy as it could be.
A funny thing mentioned from one of the reviewers is that it shipped in a box that is absolutely much larger than it needs to be. They said it could fit several large screen televisions in it. While this could be exaggeration, I thought I should bring it up none the less.
But many are genuinely happy with this paddle. It is two pieces that can be snapped together either straight or at a slant (3 different angle positions) for some who prefer to paddle this way. It is pretty durable and has convenient water catchers on the blade to keep your elbows from getting wet.
Ultimately, it is a paddle and it does its job. It moves the kayak from one location to another. The colors of the paddles are easy to spot from far away as well, and the quality is good especially if you are a recreational kayaker.
Aside from some who have stated the kayak to be too short, one other major problem we have found is that the opinion of one reviewer is that it simply can’t be used by a right handed person. I don’t know if this is true or not but I will show you what was said:
-60 degrees (this is what left handed paddlers use)
0 degrees (which is what novices and children will most likely use)
+120 degrees (this is not usable by any human)
Apparently the +60 degree setting is missing, and this is what right handed paddlers will be using. So it could be a defect or they simply overlooked it, or they actually don’t know what they are doing according to the review.
It does its job, the blades are heavily constructed, and it is good for the price. It is no professional kayaker paddle though, but it will probably be good for novices and recreational type paddlers. It has its positives and also its negatives. If you decide to buy it you will most likely be happy with it, just remember to overlook some of its downfalls.
