I can only paddle with one arm, does this board track straight?

It's made of Styrofoam and very lightweight so my guess would be no. I gave it as a gift to my 10-year-old godson who has M.D.

Not at all. It is excellent as a seat cushion and easily doubles the amount of time I can paddle comfortably.

Yes it goes both directions - forward and backwards. It just wears out after a little while and the arms cannot be replaced. You have to buy a new one!

Hi Maryann, I bought this board for my 13 year old daughter and she doesn't have a problem with it. The board is well balanced. It also, has a hand grip in the center that makes it easy to carry. With regard to the length it will benefit you on the water and because of the balancing and grips it's not difficult to move around.

Yes! I just started this summer as well, and this paddle works just fine. It isn't as fancy as my brother-in-law's more expensive paddle (~$100), but it is similar construction, similar features just not quite as pretty. Works perfectly fine, and very affordable.

You may find a little difficulties to paddle if your arms are short. I am 5'10, In my opinion, oars should be a little longer. I bought a small trolling motor mounted in the back. It is very helpful when encounter with wave and wind.

Yes this paddle is easily adjusted on the fly after the initial set up. Great paddle I have had it about three months and love it. BTW, the initial adjustment requires no tools only a trust if the level to tighten it loosen the grip. I highly recommend this paddle.

In case you still want to know, I finally got to try this board out over the weekend thanks to a person local to me who let me try. I weigh 285 and this thing didn't even flinch! Seriously, not even so much as a wrinkle in the very center of the board. I plan to buy one very soon, just kind of hoping for a sale after the paddling season is officially over.

Sorry for the delay in answering. The arm only rotates side to side. Not sure if that helps you or not.

It's pretty wide and incredibly stable. However, it has only one fin and does not have the responsiveness of a surf board. I live on the Gulf and enjoy taking it out in the surf but it's not a surf board. It is a great board for any level paddle boarder.

This might work. I does challenge your balance some on two feet, but I find the challenge to be primarily with one foot. I would think a BOSU ball would most closely mimic a board.

Yes they do, at a couple of different angles. I love these paddles. Used them yesterday, first day out this year :)

Yes it does. You can stand in one place and not move. All you nedd to move is your arms!

Definitely. It's comfortable, stable, rigid and easy .We had two people in it and only one could paddle - no problem

no, you will need to get right sided one, because if you put the arm on the other side, you won't be able to slide over.

I am almost the same size and weight and i have enjoyed the pelican board paddle very much. I have never used a different one so I can't know how it is to ride on a smaller one. The size is ok for me

If you mean stable as in, you won't fall out, then yes, it's fine. With only one person in, as they sit at the back, the front goes a little light and the kayak doesn't go quite so straight, but since there's no weight, a slightly harder paddle stroke quickly straightens it up again. So it's perfectly ok with just one person in.
