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 Dynamic’s raindrop shape delivers an immediate catch and smooth manoeuvring, encouraging vertical, efficient strokes. Its 316 stainless steel tip adds durability and corrosion resistance.
Medium is aimed at female and lighter male paddlers. Large is aimed at stronger male paddlers and is listed here as a cosmetic second, as on the existing ZSS listing.
