Need help sizing your paddle? We recommend extending your paddling arm straight up with a loose, relaxed shoulder (to keep it in a safe extension when paddling). The paddle should be adjusted so that your wrist rests right over the top of the handle when using it as a SUP paddle.

The Butterknife is an innovative wonder. The blades are 7 Ply CFRT and built for durability and quickness. And with two of them, you have the the choice to use it as a kayak/kneeling paddle or as a high performing SUP paddle by utilizing the handle behind the blade. A carbon shaft makes it extremely lightweight and powerfully durable. A clamp and pin mechanism allows you to adjust this paddle to your height while also making it a travel ready paddle. Break it down into 3 pieces to fit in your Hala bag and zip off to adventure. SUP better with a double bladed Hala Butterknife Paddle.

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.

It's factory second, and it's fine. I use it on a class 1 river, and I love how I can switch positions quickly. Will be taking it on class 2 this season.
innovation at its best
it's a cool paddle. I like the fact that you do not hang too change from a single to a double paddle. you have both at your finger tips. however one must double check fittings and hardware before use as I lost a screw without knowing during use
I’m excited for my new butterknife. I have one of the original ones but always feared not having a back up. I absolutely love having sup and kayak option, my favorite paddle for everything.
Great when you need both blades.
