Beginner Kayaker? Find the Best Kayak Paddle

A friend of mine recently bought a Walmart paddle that broke a week after he got it in Class 1 water. I told him to try my Carlisle, and he laughed at how cheap the Walmart paddle was. Choosing a paddle is pretty intuitive, but be sure to go with a qualified dealer. A dealer can tell you exactly what's on the market, and, if he's good, won't con you into more than your need.

 

Buying a good paddle is as important as buying a good kayak. There are many different paddles to choose from.


When you are shopping for kayak equipment and accessories, a paddle should be among the first things that you buy. Carlisle kayak paddles are one of the best brands you can get. They are built for several types of kayak adventures. It is easy to find one that works for you.


Recreational Paddles


Carlisle builds recreational paddles in three styles. All three are specifically designed and perfect for recreational use.


The Tripper model is an entry level paddle with a special grip for beginners.


The RS Magic is a standard paddle for recreation. It works for any age and any kayaking skill level and is available in glass or lightweight anodized aluminum.


The RS Magic 2 is made especially for women and children. It is shorter and designed for the average body size. The slightly-spooned design produces smooth and powerful paddling.


White Water Paddles


Magic White Water is Carlisle Designs only whitewater paddle. This paddle is suited for beginners but still strong enough for experts to take into that exciting white water!


All of these various paddle types are perfect for any kayaker. It is easy to find the paddle that is best for your needs right here! Don't forget that the paddles are in some ways more important than the kayak. Without a good paddle, your boat becomes less useful. Good paddles cut the water better so that the kayak is more able to glide smoothly through the water. Get the most from your kayak and make sure that you buy top-notch paddles that your kayak deserves.


Carlisle has built a sleek line of paddles for all levels of boaters and every kind of use. When you buy your kayak, keep in mind how you are planning to use it. You should do the same thing when you are deciding which paddles to buy. This will help you ensure that you get the best paddles for your kayaking style.
