Check these out.
Real composite light adjustable paddles.
A range in the EXP-stretch7.5" of 70" to 82"
The EXP-3 piece 65" to 80"
95% of adjustable paddles I have seen or used have been crappola.
These are the first adjustables I've seen that are really good.
As with any Hobie product they are top notch and the price is a pleasant
surprise
Disclaimer: I use and recommend Hobie stuff.

Soon there will be another range of adjustable paddles in AUS with multiple construction options.
Yep you're right the price is pleasantly surprising ,who handles them in Sth Aus....Cheers
Went to Binks aT Somerton Pk today ,i found they were the Hobie dealers.They had a couple of boards and several paddles,unfortunately no adjustables.The guy was happy to order it in for me,however I would like to know the weight of them before I order one.The guy could not tell me ,looked up the cattledog and still couldn't tell me .We are getting it to replace an adjustable aluminium Naish (old one) which is very weighty for the kids etc.So anyone know the weight or how they compare to the aluminium Naish? eg not much lighter,bout half the weight,that sort of thing. Cheers
Not sure on the exact weight Waxer.
They are two generations ahead of the old Naish and can't be compared.
Somewhere between a fraction of the weight of the old naish and 'Jeeze! that's light' I reckon.
They are as light as many one piece quality paddles.
I'll do a comparisson soon.

Thanks Gords, I'll weigh the Naish adjustable(seems heavy) and work out if it's worth ordering the Hobie, you said "Stretch", guess that's the model...Cheers
Weighed the Naish adjustable, my scale indicates 1.2 kgs.It always feels like there is water in it ,but there isn't.
