Feels pretty light. It will be great for my daughter as she grows in age from 4 to beyond.

This was bought as an upgrade for my daughter who had the 180cm length last year. Both my wife at 5ft as well as my daughter 410 use the 200cm model. The 180cm was a little short for my daughter as she would occasionally hit her knuckles on the kayak. The grip area is small and fits both of their hands easily. I dont know of a better paddle out there for kids or more petite females anywhere near this price range.

Second order from them. It was terrific the first time, from ease of ordering and selection right to delivery time. Cannot wait until I have another reason to shop with them.

The Bending Branches Kids Splash paddle is excellent. Relatively lightweight, well designed - I use them for my kayak rental and the kids love them.

I bought this paddle so my 6 year old son could learn to paddle with me in our tandem kayak. Because our tandem is pretty wide, I purchased the longer model. The paddle seems great--the grip is very thin and it's nice that the grip area is black so he knows where his hands should be. It seems pretty durable. My only complaint is that it's a little heavier than I thought it would be, but since I bought the longer paddle, I probably shouldn't complain! Nice little paddle and great that he has a chance to learn without banging up Mommy's more expensive paddles! :)

I purchased this paddle for my 6 year old daughter because our standard size paddles we have are just too big for her. She loves it and it fits her hands really well. We paddle in the harbor together on a tandem kayak and she paddles right along with me now with no complaints! Awesome paddle at a good price.

The paddle worked great. My 9 year old daughter loved it. She was able to paddle with good form and was able to keep the kayak going when I would take a short "rest".

We really like this paddle. We have a 9 yr old that is learning to river paddle and well as using an on top kayak on the lake and this paddle has been better for him to grip and use. We like it.

The paddles were a bit heavier than I expected but my 6-year-old grandson says they're just fine. He seems to be able to manipulate them easily and of course, they are the right size compared to the large paddles he had been attempting to use. Customer service and delivery was excellent.

These are great paddles. The kids have no trouble with them. My only concern is that they may be a bit short for the wide 30" kayaks that they have. I maybe should have got a longer one, but we were out with friends and their 5 year old was struggling with the adult paddle and borrowed ours and had a much better time with it. Worth the money.They do float and come apart for storage.
