- The push-button adjustment mechanism, while easy, might eventually wear out or become stiff over time with frequent use in sandy or salty conditions.
- The 2-piece design, while convenient for transport, introduces a joint that could potentially be a point of weakness or flex compared to a single-piece paddle.
