Revolutionizing travel paddles, the Lock + Load™ Grafik Carbon High-Strength 3-Piece SUP Paddle is far and away the highest performing travel paddle you can find. The new, innovative No-Twist™ clamp locks out water and grips to prevent twisting. This lightweight carbon shaft also breaks down into 3 pieces so it fits in your Hala bag for travel. This is our answer to an elite-performing travel paddle packed with unique features.
- LeverLock® Adjustable Handle
- Adjustable Carbon Shaft
- No-Twist™ Lock & Load Travel Clamp

The teardrop blade is the tried-and-true traditional SUP paddle blade style. Try the larger river blade option to improve bracing and gain a more powerful paddle stroke.
Need help sizing the paddle? We recommend extending your paddle arm straight up with a loose, relaxed shoulder (to keep it in a safe extension when paddling). You should adjust the LeverLock® so that your wrist rests right over the top of the handle.

Only Quick-Release Leashes Are Safe To Use On Rivers.
- You must inspect your release mechanism and practice with it and test it to ensure it is continuing to function as inspected. Worn out shackles should be replaced - please see below!
A leash can keep you safer on the river IF YOU USE IT PROPERLY
• NEVER use an ankle leash on moving water
• KNOW where your leash and shackle are at all times
• SOME PFDs may not have a safe place to attach your leash - then DON'T USE a leash
• PULL EARLY if you see you could get ensnared
• PULL DIRECTION is crucial for release
NEVER use a leash attached to your ankle on moving water, including rivers and creeks. An ankle leash can hinder your ability to swim effectively and can be difficult-to-impossible to release, which can be dangerous and even fatal. Decide if a leash is a good fit for your paddling style and safety plan (and practice using your leash) before heading out.
When used properly, leashes and the quick-release components, including the shackle, will release a paddler from their SUP. However, when pulled the wrong direction or otherwise used incorrectly, the shackle may not release. Use Hala Gear's how-to videos to ensure you know how to use your shackle and quick-release correctly.
We encourage paddlers to practice using their quick-release leashes before each outing. Likewise, it is important to always inspect your gear for wear and tear, damage, or deterioration. Frequent inspection ensures your gear is in good condition and reduces the risk of accidents or malfunctions.
To ensure our customers and paddlers have the most up-to-date, reliable gear, we are offering replacement welded shackles. To qualify for a replacement, please fill out this form and share a photo of your outdated or otherwise deteriorated shackle.
