Versatility: Kayak & Packraft
This compact 4-part paddle is equally suited to beginner touring kayakers and packrafters.
How to assemble your paddle
Assemble the blades onto the tubes using the push pins, then assemble the tubes together using the latch system.
We use a latch system to reduce the feeling of play between strands as much as possible.
If tightening is not sufficient with the latch open, retighten the metal screw.
Storage bag
The storage bag has been designed to fit in with the frugal dimension of "light" packraft adventures, allowing you to store your paddle before and after use without losing any parts.
How do I adjust the size of my paddle?
Les réglages dépendent du kayakiste, de l'environnement de navigation et de son embarcation:
Une pagaie courte pour l'eau-vive et pour les kayaks étroits (< 60 cm de largeur).
*Pagaie courte = entre 20 et 30cm de plus que votre taille
Une pagaie plus longue pour les randonnées et les kayaks plus larges (> 60 cm de largeur).
*Pagaie longue = entre 30 et 40cm de plus que votre taille
How do you paddle?
Hands low, horizontal or low angle:
All these terms mean the same thing. Your paddle is rather thin and long; in a touring spirit, you are looking for duration rather than strength.
This gesture allows you to manage your effort and limit fatigue at the
Mains hautes, vertical ou high angle:
Your paddle is wide and short; it is rather intended for use in whitewater or competition.
This more vertical gesture is more physical and consumes more energy.
How do I adjust the angle of my paddle?
Adjustments depend on the kayaker, the sailing environment and the boat:
Between 0° and 45°, for whitewater, where you'll want to limit the time taken up by the gestures to be as reactive as possible.
Between 45° and 90°, for touring, where you'll want to reduce the windage for better effort management.
If in doubt, follow your instincts...
