Is this a 1-piece paddle or does it breakdown into 2 like Carlisle Mystic models sold in a few retail chain/discount stores? Thanks for replies.

It breaks down in 2 pieces. It is strong where it comes together and you can adjust where the paddles turn. I like the weight and construction and the color of the paddles. It looks like it will give me a lot of years of fun. I am a novice kayaker and I wanted something better than what I started with but I didn't want to pay higher prices. Really happy with the product and the company I got it from. Good experience.

I just started kayaking this summer so this is the first paddle I've ever used. I think it's a good one for beginners!

I really like mine. It is really comfortable. It blows up fast and the paddles that come with it are decent and come apart for storage. I went and bought a large canvass bag to store it in when not in use. On a windy day, it is hard to paddle though especially on a large body of water, but that would be true for most small water crafts.

Probably not normal. The dhs I received looked fake. It was poorly glued together and was split from the handle all the way up. I've been playing for many years. Kept buying paddles on sale. But the best one I ever bought was Killersspin 800. Even if you don't get the super expensive ones you may find killerspin is excellent quality and well worth the money.

Yes both paddles I had purchased the rubbers fell off after about 2-3 months...

Yes. The shaft had a couple of detent pin holes to choose from when you lock them together. Take note that this is a touring (or flat water) paddle. I tried to use it as a white water paddle but I don't recommend it unless you are only on Class 1 or 2 max, or if you can execute a roll without a paddle assist.

It only come with the belt attachment, you must buy the paddle attachment, but its only a few dollars for it

There are no dumb questions. Both ends are the same size and it is a great paddle for the price. With that said, it's just that the blades are riveted and not sealed on the ends of the shaft, so water gets trapped in the ends of the paddle, not a big deal for me for the price.

Yes. The two halves slide inside each other and there is a button that pops into one of two positions depending what angle you want your blades at. You can't go wrong with this paddle for the price.

I think it depends on what color you buy. The orange one I picked up didn't include a paddle, but others that bought the yellow one did.

Just one paddle. I used it as an emergency paddle for my jetski. I wouldn't recommend it for any heavy duty rowing, as mine partially broke when I had to paddle ashore in the ocean. Probably a little more work thank this was intended for, but with the money for a compact paddle.

yes it comes with two decent paddles and a pump that works great. I used it again this weekend and it pumps up in about 5-7 minutes easily with the pump.

The paddle on mine is solid metal, very heavy. It looks like stainless steel. Are you sure you're looking at the paddle for the Lello 4080? (I think some of the smaller machines have a white plastic paddle.) Mine has been in service for years, lots of use, no problems.

There is no model number at all. The paddle is light, flexible, and easy to control.

Mine had 2 paddles, each came in three parts. Make sure you really tighten them before use.

It is normal for the paddle to collapse easily. The maker spins the paddle both directions. In effect, it raises and lowers it as needed.
