• 1300g
• feather angle 45 degree as standard or 90 degree (which can be used for left or right handed paddlers)

Blade

The budget range, entry-level blades are constructed from super tough ABS plastic. The bomb-proof ABS blades are ideal for beginners as they will take endless abuse but are still light at hand.

Shaft

This paddle is available with a standard diameter, corrosion resistant alloy shaft.

Length

The most important factors in choosing the length for your paddle are your height and the type of kayaking you'll be doing. Use the selector below to help find your ideal paddle length.

The selector is a guide only: personal preference is also an important factor. Other points to consider include:

• In general, the longer the kayak, the longer the paddle.
• People with long backs require longer paddles.
• A longer paddle gives you more support and makes it easier to learn to roll.
• A floaty blade such as the AFT range gives more support and the paddler uses less energy.
• Children require a shorter paddle.
