Dear Valued Customer:
Agit Global, Inc. is recalling paddles, model years 2015 through 2020, that were sold with certain 8’, 8’6”, 9’6”, and 10’6” Wave Storm, Storm Blade, Ozoboard, True Wave, Bloo Tide, Dorsal, and Rock It Surf Stand-up paddleboards.
The recalled paddle can suddenly break mid-shaft during use, exposing sharp edges and posing a puncture or laceration hazard to users.
Consumers should stop using the recalled paddles and contact Agit Global to get a free protective sleeve that should be installed over the paddle shaft to protect you from a risk of injury when paddling. The protective sleeve is made of Neoprene®, about two-feet long, and zippered for easy installation and can provide a better grip and more comfort while paddling.
Recalled paddles have one of the following manufacturing codes or prefixes printed on the paddle blade:
