THis review is for the 80" model of the Sevylor Maui paddle for the Samoa inflatable stand up paddle board. There are some differences b/w the 72" long paddle and the 80" model, other than the length: the 72" has a shaft made of very thin walled tube and perhaps to strengthen it there is a short tube glued on top of the shaft at the ferule area (where the two parts of the paddle join).

Sevylor U139 Maui Paddle 80"
This is an OK paddle to keep as a spare, or for flat water or light surf duty. I purchased it so I'd have a break down paddle that traveled easily and also as a spare to loan to friends. For $39 it's hard to go wrong. The shaft is light and fairly well made, but the blade is big, heavy and flexy.
