Optional paddle bags
Compare the two bags below, then choose your preferred option in the paddle selection panel.
Add $40
A padded travel bag for a two-piece or adjustable paddle. Its heavy-duty PVC lining, padded blade separator and rugged binding help protect your paddle in transit.
The bag possesses a carry handle, removable shoulder strap and additional buckle security.
Add $20
A soft, affordable cover made from heavyweight stretch fleece, with an internal blade separator, carry handle and drawcord toggle closure.
The fleece stretches to accommodate paddles slightly longer than the padded option would be able to cater for. Will fit all kayak, dragon boat and outrigger paddles.
Store a clean paddle in your bag and keep sand and grit out to help protect the blade finish and adjustment mechanism.
Blade design
The Kajner 4 teardrop shape offers an efficient catch and stable hold through the stroke, with a clean release from the water.
Designed to feel stable without flutter, it is a straightforward shape to adapt to. Select a blade area to suit your strength, technique and training.
