Full details
The Red Equipment Hybrid Tough paddle is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking a durable and efficient paddle. Its key benefit is the combination of a resilient nylon blade with a flexible, yet robust high carbon/glass fibre shaft, offering a blend of performance and longevity. A potential caveat is its weight at 875g, which might be noticeable on longer excursions. This three-piece paddle is designed for easy transport and storage, fitting into the included ATB transformer bag, and features an adjustable length for personalized use.

FAQs
What type of water is this paddle best suited for?
This paddle is versatile and suitable for various water types, including lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, for recreational paddling and touring.
How do I adjust the paddle length?
Loosen the Carnlock adjuster, slide the shaft sections to your desired length (between 170cm and 220cm), and then firmly retighten the Carnlock adjuster.
What are the materials used in this paddle?
The blade is made of durable Nylon, and the shaft is a hybrid construction of High Carbon/Glass Fiber.
What is the weight of the paddle?
The paddle weighs 875g.
Does the paddle come with a bag?
Yes, it includes a dedicated ATB transformer bag for convenient storage and transport.
Can this paddle be used for whitewater paddling?
While durable, the nylon blade and hybrid shaft are optimized for recreational and touring use. For demanding whitewater, a paddle with a more rigid construction might be preferable.
How do I clean the paddle?
Rinse the paddle thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove any salt, sand, or debris. Allow it to dry completely before storing.
Troubleshooting
Paddle sections do not fit together securely
Ensure the connection points are clean and free of debris. Check for any obstructions within the shaft connectors. Realign and push firmly.
Carnlock adjuster slips or does not hold length
Inspect the Carnlock mechanism for dirt or damage. Clean the mechanism thoroughly. If damage is present, contact customer support.
Blade feels too flexible
Verify the paddle length is set correctly. Ensure the shaft sections are fully engaged. For more advanced paddling demanding maximum rigidity, a full carbon paddle may be considered.
