I bought this specifically for paddle upstream on the Snake River from Centennial Park to Shoshone Falls. My wife and I planned to SUP and I wanted the ability to sit and kayak paddle if the current was really strong. The wind was blowing pretty hard that day so it actually propelled up upstream and we had to fight the wind while paddling downstream. Go figure. It came in handy against the 30+ mph wind and I'm glad I had it along. FYI, it is heavier than our regular SUP paddle, so my wife didn't prefer it. She has issues from typing for years and felt fatigued after paddling with it. I had no issues and plan to use it for further adventures in the future. The little spring lock pin that locks the attachments together was difficult to depress after it got wet a few times. It may need some oil to move freely. Still experimenting with that.
