I've had this paddle for a year or two now. Overall, I like it. It's very sturdy, much more so than most other 3 piece paddles. It's also super light. It cuts through the water effectively and it's quite easy to get into a steady rhythm at a medium to moderately fast pace for extended periods without straining your shoulders or getting fatigued. I'd say it's a great paddle for all-day paddle sessions where you just want to comfortably cruise around. Personally, I tend to prefer paddles with a larger blade and higher blade angle than this one, as I can get more power out of them, but I enjoy this one for what it is.
My only issue I've had is that a small piece of the bamboo covering on one of the front distal corners of the blade came off after a dozen or two paddle sessions. Must have dinged it on a rock or something. It didn't start splitting apart, which is nice, but I wish the blade was a bit more ding/scratch resistant.

The paddle is good, it’s stiff and light and is nice to use. But there have been various issues. When the paddle arrived there was something rattling around inside that wouldn’t come out. I contacted Honu about it, they were polite and said a return would be accepted, but it was clear they really wanted me to fix it myself. I was able to fix that issue eventually, but it took a while to break the excess piece of carbon fibre so I could get it out. Now the paddle is nice to use, but afterwards there is always water stuck in the blade. You can hear it sloshing around but it’s very hard to get out. I assume it’s made it into a section that is meant to be sealed. All this is undeniably poor build quality, I was hoping for better.
Hi Michael,
Sorry to hear you have not had the experience we like to provide. As mentioned, this does happen on a small number of blades where some resin comes out of the join insdie the shaft when in production. When this does happen and it can't be easily removed, we are very happy to replace it. No questions. The offer still stands for you also.

3단으로 분리되는 EVO 대나무 블레이드는 기능과 디자인에서 만족스러운 제품입니다. 함께 제공되는 패들 전용가방은 최고입니다.👍🏻

Really like the Honu Evo Bamboo Paddle, looks good, nice weight and handle grip. I like the way it packs down into 3 pieces into a carrying case. I wanted a paddle slightly heavier than the lightweight one I have and a second one as spare. It's really good.

Very firm and don't jiggle and move the pieces. Firm paddle!

Love it - I’m not an expert, this is the first SUP I’ve owned/used but the paddle is light and easy to use. Can get a fair bit of speed going and given I’m recuperating from a neck/shoulder injury I find it easy to use with just the right amount of tension - great for strengthening the injured areas without over doing it. Fantastic!

Light, easy to use a beautiful piece to be on the sup with!

Nice feel, very happy with it

Quality paddle and case. The paddle is a little on the heavy side, but this would be expected with a 3-piece paddle, would recommend the carbon blade if paddling a lot with this paddle.
Quick delivery.

Highly recommended upgrade from the Honu Element paddle, this paddle helped to improve my technique on my Sorrento 4km morning paddles. Super lightweight, no flutter, very stiff and looks great. Amazing support and communication from Honu. If I’d be buying my first board and paddle again, I‘d skip the Element and go straight for the Evolution…
