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.

The Combat’s smaller blade area helps young paddlers make faster, smoother strokes. Its semi-core construction combines rigidity with durability for regular slalom use.
The Small blade has an area of 660 cm². A pair of blades weighs approximately 580 g, before shaft and assembly.
