Kayak Paddles and Canoe Paddles
Select the Type of Canoeing and Kayaking Paddles
Your choice of paddle should be based on the type of kayaking that you are planning to use it for. Choosing the
correct paddle is important, for example touring paddles are not strong enough for white water. Kayak paddles
have a blade on either end of a shaft, single bladed paddles are called Canoe Paddles.
To help, we have categorised them to enable you choose the right one. View further details by following the

Most paddles are suitable for sit-on-top or recreational kayaking providing they
are long enough for use with your kayak. Our range of suitable paddles include standard alloy shaft paddles
all the way through to super lightweight carbon paddles.
Touring & sea kayaking paddlers generally paddle with a longer stroke at a
slower rate. This means longer length paddles are required with a smaller blade for less resistance. This
combined with a lighter paddle will help reduce fatigue over distance.
We have a range of split paddles which break down into 2 or more pieces for ease
of storage & transportation, this includes both kayak & canoe paddles. Ideal for use with inflatable
kayaks and inflatable canoes or as an emergency spare with all types of kayaks.
