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 high-twist blade develops power early in the stroke, with a stable, clean exit as it moves laterally through the water.
A technical yet forgiving shape for ocean and flatwater paddling—from racing and fitness sessions to touring.
