Own the Wave Adjustable Alloy SUP Paddle Review

This model weighs in at two pounds, which is almost a full pound heavier.

The nylon blade and alloy shaft are durable and withstood an onslaught of abuse when subjected to choppy and whitewater waves.

This model specs a TwinPin adjustment system, which is intuitive, versatile, and straightforward.

Features Own the Wave Adjustable Alloy SUP Paddle

The Own, the Valve model, was not an all-star performer, but it gets the work done.

With a big teardrop-shaped paddle, testers found that they could manipulate their course with the Paddle, but its heft made it hard to enact fast movement and tight turns.

Weight

This product was one of the heavier board paddles, weighing two pounds.

This should not be an issue for users who do not focus heavily on performance, but if you are looking for a top-shelf paddle, this is not the best choice.

Ease of adjustment

With a TwinPin locking structure, this model is simple and intuitive to adjust.

Plus, the own valve has a number marking each adjustment space, so when changing the Paddle between many users, you can remember which height worked best for you and adjust the Paddle to that height.

With an eighteen-inch adjustment range, this Paddle represented one of the broadest adjustment ranges.

Locking mechanism

This model specs a TwinPin adjustment system.

While not as simple to adjust as the LeverLock system found on the top-tier models, this adjustment was straightforward and intuitive.

Even excellent, it does not need a screwdriver to set the clamping force.

This system runs by pushing out a C-shaped collar clamp that releases linked stainless steel from its adjustment hole and permits the shaft to be adjusted down or up.

When you have reached your wanted length, you push the clamp back towards the shaft, and the pin goes into the closest hole.

Aesthetics

In terms of looks, the Own value is about as plain as they appear.

This Paddle is far from the most visually remarkable adjustable SUP paddle.

Its generic silver and black look cannot truly match the futuristic carbon, natural wood veneer, or decorative graphics of other products.

Valve

This is an affordable paddle. If you want to get out on the water and do not mind a bit of extra bulk and lower work, this Paddle will work perfectly for your needs.

Conclusion

This paddleboard is robust, durable, and lightweight due to its aluminum alloy shaft and nylon composite blade.

It is light, at 2.2 pounds, making it relaxing for most paddlers at all experience levels.

The paddle handle specs a simple ergonomic design that can be adjusted from 71 to 83. The adjusting mechanism is a pin that slides into spaces, rather than a twist-off, which will stop loosening in the water with continuous use.

Undoubtedly, a heavy paddle, the wave adjustable, has the lowest retail price in the market.
