The Explorer Series paddle creates balance among comfort, performance, weight, and durability for the best all around paddle. Your paddle is your engine while on paddleboarding. We hav packed the Explorer series with necessary features to make sure you are focused on your goals. Let's Go....Paddle!  

Specs: 

Weight: 21 oz.  Have you ever lifted a 10 pound dumbell 400 times?  We haven't either, that's why the Explorer Series comes in under two pounds as we can't imagine how excruciating a lengthy tour would be with a heavy paddle. 

Adj Height: 68" - 86" tall

Paddler Height: 4'5" - 6'5"  This is a range assuming about a fist width over your head. If you are 6'9" and like your paddle at head high, then this paddle still works for you. It's not an exact science. It's about you being comfortable. But unless you are a 7' center this will likely work for you just fine. 

Blade Width: 8" at 85 square inch of blade.  Why does this matter? The more blade you have in the water the more power it will take to get moving and stay moving. Too little blade in the water and there isn't enough power. After years of testing we ave found the optimal blade size is 85 Square inches. This allows for enough surface area to pull against the water without needing to be the Incredible Hulk to go anywhere or to paddle endlessly without even moving. It's our happy place. 

Blade Angle: 10 degrees. This is the optimal angle for recreational paddling where the blade entering and exiting the water provides the least amount of drag. You probably won't notice it, but get on the wrong paddle and you will immediately feel like a fish out of water. 

Shaft Composition: Carbon and Fiberglass blend. A full carbon paddle may be the way to go when racing, but for recreation paddling it's important to have the right flex in the shaft. If a paddle is too rigid all of the energy from the blade pulling against the water is transferred to your shoulders. Over a long period of time this will wear on your joint and cause fatigue and pain. For 99% of paddlers out there, we would rather not have tennis elbow setting in on a recreational paddle. Enjoy the flex. 

Blade Composition: While the shaft needs to have some flex to save your joints, there is nothing worse than having a blade that allows water to slip off bending edges. We use carbon blades to make sure water dos not slip and therefore capturing all of the power in your stroke under the surface of the water. 

Features

Never Slip Flip Lock: The flip lock is the most easy form of adjusting your paddle height. Simply flip the lock out to disengage the lock. Adjust your paddle to the appropriate height, and flip it closed. We always recommend tightening the screws with the clasp closed to avoid from over tightening your paddle.

Never Twist V-Groove:This was developed by lovers of fixed paddles who couldn't stand taking diggers on adjustable paddles when the inexplicably rotated 90 degrees under your power.  It sounds so simple but if you haven't paddled with a Never Slip V Groove then you don't know what you are missing. It never twists...ever. 

Never Dings: That really cool VAMO Green highlight on the edge of your paddle may look like a design feature but the function is much more important. It is an ABS Soft plastic edge designed to take all of the hard smacks where your paddle meets the board and transfer the impact through the softer edge and not cut into your board. 

Never Slip: The shaft has a spiraled texture designed for grip tight when hands are dry or wet. It's built in so it never goes away. Next time you get a black eye from a slip fumble slick shaft you will know where to come. 

Always Covered:  We have a lifetime guarantee on all of our product. The term of life does not apply to the owners lifetime however. We are talking about the life of the product. Every product has a lifecycle. If you paddle every day for three years straight eventually your paddle shaft will not have the same rigidity it once had. This means it will be time to replace your paddle with a new model. If however there is a defect in the product we will replace your product free of charge.

      Classy fully automatic watch - lots of bling too
      Watches with a mechanical movement are becoming more mainstream despite the impact of smart watches and quartz movement timepieces. With a pure mechanical watch, there are no concerns about battery charge so when you pick it up from the nightstand, all you would have to do is give the stem a twist to wind the main spring, reset the time and off you go - and that's only if it has stopped. If it hasn't stopped (it won't if you wear it every day or have a watch winder) you strap it on and you are all set. I gave this watch my regular accuracy test set against a clock linked to the atomic time source. To my great surprise, it was as accurate as one of my much more expensive mechanical watches (how much more expensive? This watch costs about the same as the sales tax on the most pricy watch in the closet !!) I use the included watch bracelet tool to remove a link from the watch to get a proper fit. Including the tool in the box saves you the $10 plus fee a jeweler might charge you to make the adjustment - very cool. And you probably will need to remove at least one link - some may need to remove two - since the bracelet has a generous size. Speaking of the bracelet, it's beautiful. I wore the watch today to church and a friend said it had "heavy duty bling" ... But she did say she thought it was beautiful and I concur. Finally, The way the bracelet clasp works is reminiscent of a Longines bracelet i have and that spells quality to me. The dial is black with chrome shiny minute markers so visibility in good light is excellent. I do not detect any glow in the dark markings on the hands or the minute markers - factor that in for your purchase decision. I see this watch as serving as your "good" watch for business wear, to don for a meal at a fancy restaurant or for that big date night. I think it has a classic look that (despite the bling of the bracelet) is conservative enough for anyone and any business situation.The only place I wouldn't wear it is to the beach or the gym despite the fact that it has claimed that it is waterproof to depths you probably will never experience. Accurate, beautiful, real quality that translates to good value and capable of being almost anyone's "good" watch. Recommended

      Es muy elegante
      Color: 3316:white band white dial
      The OUPINKE Automatic Two-Tone Skeleton Watch is a stylish timepiece that blends luxury design with mechanical craftsmanship. Its gold and silver stainless steel construction gives it an elegant, premium look suitable for both formal and casual occasions. Design & Appearance: This watch stands out with its two-tone bracelet and gold-accented bezel, creating a bold and sophisticated aesthetic. The dial features crystal-style hour markers, multiple subdials, and a visible skeleton window at the bottom that showcases the internal movement. These details add a high-end feel often associated with more expensive watches. Movement & Performance: It uses an automatic mechanical movement, which means it winds itself through the motion of your wrist—no battery required. This is a major advantage for watch enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking. The watch also includes useful calendar features such as day, date, and month indicators. Build Quality: The stainless steel case and bracelet feel solid and durable. The polished finish enhances its luxury appeal, although like most polished watches, it may show fingerprints or small scratches over time. Comfort: Despite its robust design, the watch is comfortable to wear. The bracelet is well-balanced, and the clasp keeps it secure on the wrist.

      Exceptional quality
      I have only had the watch for a few days, but Oupinke watches are very high quality. It keeps time very well and serves as an attention grabber. Great value for the money. It isn't easy to determine where it was made, but it is a Chinese company. Don't stop there with preconceived ideas about cheap products and low quality from China. These watches are exceptional, high-end, and dedicated to creating a brand that endures and stands for quality, rather than simply turning a profit. I would put this watch against those that cost 3-4 times as much. If you are a watch enthusiast, they are worth adding to your collection.

      Higher quality than I expected, especially for the price. I have recieved lots of compliments, but I have never told anyone what I paid for it. I use it for a daily wear, and when I go out for dinner.

      Good Watch - Hard To Adjust Band
      The good: Good quality. Keeps accurate time. The not so good: The not so good is not a problem with the watch but a problem with adjusting the metal band. And that is not the band's fault. That's my fault. To adjust the band so it fits the wrist one must take out links in the band. A tool comes with the watch to aid link removal. I just could not do it. So I replaced this band with another metal band that has a quick adjust magnetic closure.
