WAVESRX Telescoping Paddle 24"–54" — Collapsible Emergency Oar with Docking Hook & Depth Gauge, Floatable, Lightweight & Corrosion-Resistant

The WAVESRX Telescoping Paddle is a compact, floatable 3-in-1 emergency oar with an integrated docking hook and depth gauge that adjusts from 24" to 54" for PWCs, kayaks, dinghies and small boats.

When an engine stalls or you need precise control in shallow water, having a multi-purpose paddle can be the difference between a smooth recovery and a stressful situation. The WAVESRX paddle was designed to tuck into tight storage, deploy quickly, and give you immediate access to a hook for docking plus an on-board depth measurement — all in a lightweight, corrosion-resistant package that floats if dropped.

How does the telescoping system make this paddle easy to store and use?

The two-stage telescoping shaft compresses the paddle to 24" for compact storage and extends to 54" for comfortable reach. Locking collars secure each length setting so it stays rigid during strokes. It’s optimized for small craft where space is limited but performance still matters.

• Folded length: 24 inches (61 cm) for stowage on PWC and dinghies
• Extended length: 54 inches (137 cm) for effective paddling leverage
• Positive locking collars to prevent slipping under load
• Lightweight shaft for easy handling and less fatigue

What advantages does the built-in docking hook provide?

The integrated docking hook lets you pull toward docks, lines, or other boats without switching tools. It reduces fumbling during tight maneuvers and helps recover gear or secure your craft quickly. This feature is particularly useful when currents, wind, or crowded ramps make docking awkward.

• Hook designed to catch lines, dock rails and tow loops safely
• Accessible without removing the paddle from its mount or storage
• Reduces need for separate boarding hooks or gaffs
• Router-friendly shape to minimize snagging when stowed

How does the depth gauge help in shallow or unfamiliar water?

The paddle’s built-in depth gauge provides a quick water-depth reading so you can avoid grounding or striking submerged hazards. It’s a practical reference during approach, launch, or when navigating new channels. Keep in mind it’s a field measurement for situational awareness rather than precise surveying.

• Instant depth readout while the paddle shaft is submerged
• Useful for launches, tidal flats, shoals and rocky approaches
• Helps plan route adjustments before getting stuck
• Easy-to-read scale integrated into the shaft for on-the-fly checks

Is the WAVESRX paddle durable in marine conditions?

Materials and finishes were chosen to resist corrosion and wear in saltwater environments. The ergonomic grip and reinforced blade deliver reliable performance when you need manual propulsion. The product comes with a 3-year replacement warranty for added assurance in real-world use.

• Corrosion-resistant components for long-term marine exposure
• Ergonomic handle for comfortable control during extended use
• Floatable construction to prevent loss if dropped overboard
• Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty

Who is this for? Boaters who value space-saving, multi-function gear: personal watercraft and jet ski owners, anglers using inflatable dinghies, kayakers and canoeists, marina operators, and anyone keeping a small craft ready for unexpected engine failure. If you need a reliable paddle that stores small, performs when extended, helps you dock, and gives quick depth feedback, the WAVESRX Telescoping Paddle is built to meet those needs without adding bulk to your vessel.
