Dreaming of exploring a series of lakes in the Boundary Waters Wilderness? Or is a fast-moving, heart-racing run down whitewater rapids more your style? Either way, if you want the perfect adventure, you’ll need the right paddle!
Sizing a paddle to fit you:There are several different methods of paddle sizing. The easiest is to stand the paddle vertically with the blade tip resting on the foot. The hand grip should come between your mouth and nose.
Otter Tail (Flatwater)
Beaver Tail (Flatwater)
Bent Shaft
Bent shafts help position the blade for maximum efficiency on flat water. The bend in the shaft helps the blade remain vertical in the water during the most powerful part of your stroke. It also helps the paddle enter and exit the water smoothly.
