Paddle Issues: Anyone else have this issue?

No! I would contact the manufacturer at once. I am having an issue with a plastic-like coating wearing off from the paddles after about a year of using the machine but no metal shavings!!

Wet the inside of the yak grip. Some paddles are easier than others to slide these on. I wouldn't go kayaking without them. I think I have them on 5 paddles.

The paddle can be a little difficult to remove, but soaking it in water always gets it loose. I have started oiling the paddle and the post it stands on in the baking pan. This helps a great deal.

About 75% of the time, it happens to me, but the little hook tool that came with the machine retrieves the paddle easily.

Yes it does. I just got my paddle + case yesterday and the paddle does not fit properly in the case. You have to shove it, shift it around a bit and then your paddle will fit in. I can't understand why they can't provide a paddle case that fits the paddle properly.

It is, and I was mailed the left and left pieces both times, I ordered and returned, I suggested I hold one piece, and they send me the "female" piece, as I was mailed two "male" paddles (the push button release pull apart) maybe they have corrected the slotting problem now.

I have one of these and use on a fresh water lake.. my paddle sinks right away. Glad I tested it - ended up getting a paddle leash which works, but can get in the way. Better than losing it though I suppose.

No, it will do it's thing, just make sure you put it in the upright position when loading the ingredients.Also I find , after cleaning it each time, the paddle does'nt move freely and has to be loosened up by moving it back and forth or with using a little olive oil each time I use it.

I have had no issues with the grip. I would remove it, clean the contacts on the bottom, and try again.

So long as it isn't on a "sweet spot" which is around the middle it will be fine, the indentation may also leave as time passes. This is a fantastic paddle for the price. Of course if it hinders you, do what you must.

Probably not normal. The dhs I received looked fake. It was poorly glued together and was split from the handle all the way up. I've been playing for many years. Kept buying paddles on sale. But the best one I ever bought was Killersspin 800. Even if you don't get the super expensive ones you may find killerspin is excellent quality and well worth the money.

Yes both paddles I had purchased the rubbers fell off after about 2-3 months...

I haven't had any problems and this is my second machine of the same model; try a little olive oil on the bottom section of the paddle.

I've only used the paddles, the use of fins is possible but I think it would be uncomfortable

We have owned the machine for about 3 months. We have noticed that the paddles do stay up sometimes, but not always. It just seems I be a random occurrence. Sorry, not much help.

Yes. Great paddle. The rubber on both sides are super sticky. The carbon layer is stiff and makes paddle lighter than my older paddle. Good for spin, control and power.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.
