I unboxed my Kickstarter Origami Paddler (A fold up, sit on kayak / stand up paddle board.) and took it out on the lake for some testing. I've been told that the "Pelican T handle" is a perfect fit to replace one paddle end if you want a true "T" handle for stand up paddle board usage. Amazon Affiliate Link: amzn.to/3p0jUhx

This was better than the Origami Paddler video which was fraught with poor lighting and omitted key information. I appreciated the tongue-in-cheek comments that just carrying it to your launch point was cardio in itself. The wheels are not optional for me, yet as noted, there was no guidance on how to attach the paddler to the dolly.

Frustrated with this company. I have water coming in through the top black plugs (seems like many people have this issue) and then I posted a question about the “new” hinges and if both pieces were the stronger material because the top piece looks like the old material still (and that hinge was cracked) and I was blocked from the Facebook group. Still waiting to hear from them from an email I sent at the beginning of the month.

Thanks for making the video. Some thoughts: It disturbs me that this thing has drain holes. How would water even get in it 'cept through those same holes? I thought it was supposed to be molded in flotation. The seat seems really flimsy. I'd rather strain the hinges on the kayak, than the 'hinges' on my back, carrying the damn thing. 'Nuf said? So is it worth it to be able to have something I don't have to lug around on the top of my car? Hmm.

I guess they decided it was better to be able to drain water (if one section got a small crack/puncture) than to have no way to get into them. Having it fold down makes it possible to carry by a single person, even if it's not easy. (I have a fully molded kayak that requires I drag one end along the ground, or use a cart, and it sure takes up a lot more space in the garage...)

Well I received mine was a little heavier than my wife could carry , I though it would be made of recyclable material and it is not it is made that it can be recycled but. Not from recyclable material so I think Tahiti is why it took a year to get they could no make it and figure out how to make hinges stay in place they gave up and went to making the paddle from material that they knew how to make . So don’t think you can save the world by buying a recyclable material object .

Don’t order one from this company, my husband has ordered one 1 yr ago and yet to receive it. There are dozens of people waiting as well, one lady is waiting 2 yrs and they are not responding her messages. They are Scamming people, they’ll even block you on Facebook.
