Kahuna adjustable Big Stick

Two weeks ago I took the plunge and bought the Kahuna Big Stick. I have made home made big sticks in the past and they worked pretty well but they were nothing compared to Adjustable Big Stick from Kahuna Creations. It has:
- adjustable Aluminum shaft that is as easy to adjust as a set of crutches. 

-The overall weight is just 2.2 lbs and all the weight is in the rubber "blade". 

-The blade grips the road very well even though I did experience some minor slipping when I first started using it. (I don't know if this was caused by it being so new or by user error.) The blades are easy to remove and easy to replace.

So far the Big Stick seems to be very durable and it feels very sturdy when being used. I was kinda skeptical at first with the telescoping aspect of it I didn't know if it would "wiggle" or not. There is no wiggling so far and I have skated around 5 miles so far with it. (which doesn't seem far but I feel as if my arms are going to fall off.) 

The ride that you get with a Big Stick is amazing you get your feet in your perfect stance and you let your upper body do all the work. You can either casually cruise with it or you can use it to gain speed going down hills. The other great part is you can use it to pivot on when turning giving you increased balance in turns. 

I don't remember the exact height adjustments but i know that it is adjustable to anyone that is 4'5" all the way up to over 6'. 

One thing to be cautious about though if it is something that you worry about is that the graphics are just a decal and as I found out today they will peal off if you are not careful.

Overall I am very excited and happy with my purchase and I would recommend this to anyone that would like to try paddle boarding on land.
