Bending Branches, AT (Adventure Technology), Aqua Bound, & Harmony Paddles
Choosing the Right KAYAK Paddle Depends Upon:
* The kayak you are using (length, width and weight)
* Your height and level of fitness
* Paddling conditions (typical size of lake or river, wind, current, etc.)
* The length of outing
* Other personal preferences
Style, Blade Shape and Surface Area
* High-angle paddlers keep the shaft more vertical during their stroke and typically use a shorter, wider blade and a shorter paddle. This allows a more powerful, athletic stroke.
* A low-angle stroke keeps the paddle relatively horizontal as you paddle. Paddlers that use this less fatiguing stroke often use a longer, thinner blade.
* Smaller paddlers and those that are not in speed choose blades with less surface area; those that want more power and desire a bigger "bite" on the water go for larger blades.
* All of our blades use a dihedral shape, a shallow v-shaped cross section, which makes them pull smoothly through the water without flutter.
