I'm looking to find the paddle length of paddle that's included with iTrek 11. Anyone know the cm?

Starting with the 2024 models iTrek no longer ships with a paddle nor a place to attach it on the kayak :x . Hobie sells 2 piece paddles that are either 230 or 260 cm.

The reply from guppydriver is accurate. Starting with the 2024 model, Hobie silently stopped including a paddle and paddle holder with the iTrek models. I don't know if the original 4-piece paddle for inflatables, #74077001, is still being made but many can be found in stock at dealers. I do not know the length but this paddle breaks down into shorter sections for easier transport than the 2-piece paddles.

If you are considering Hobie's pre-iTrek inflato paddle, pay attention to shaft diameter. I believe it is fatter than the discontinued iTrek holders are meant for, altho mine not at hand to examine. Nice hand-filling size but unlike my half dozen other paddles. Also the blade very floppy.

Lanyard that new paddle and maybe wrap tape around a shaft skinnier than holder. I am keeping my paddle face down/inward because face up it seems destined to get peeled out of holder by waves.
