Touring, Sea Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Paddles

Standard Touring Paddles

These paddles are great for general sit-on-top paddling, touring kayaks and sea kayaks. They are more basic in specification than the more expensive paddles but are cost-effective, durable and great for beginner paddlers or those who aren't looking for higher performance. The blades are made from polypropylene and shafts come in a choice of alloy or fibreglass.

Mid Range Touring Paddles

These paddles sit between the standard range and the high performance range. In general they are lighter than lower value paddles and feature fibreglass or carbon-glass blend shafts for a nicer feel when paddling. Some come with adjutsable shaft ferrules allowing you to select the blade feathering (angle between the blade faces). Blades are reinforced for a stiffer more efficient blade. These paddles are great for the regular paddler.

Premium Touring Paddles

These paddles are designed for higher performance. They feature composite glass or carbon blades which are stiff and light for efficient paddle strokes and lots of connectivity with the water. The shafts are strong and lightweight. Some feature adjustable ferrules for multiple feathering options. On some models, shafts are available in straight or crank options, the crank (neutral bent) offering reduced stress and strain at the wrists. These paddles are great for regular paddlers looking for extra performance when paddling over distance.

Ultimate Touring Paddles

Top specification paddles for the ultimate in performance. These paddles are for those who are paddling long distances where every drop of performance is needed. Full carbon construction with Foam Core blades for an incredible light and stiff paddle, which are a real joy to use.
