How Do You Make The Right Choice For A Kayak Paddle?

Purchasing a kayak paddle made easy. There are three questions that need to be answered before you buy that most important kayak paddle. I spent last weekend with the Arkansas Canoe Club's "Annual Recreational Paddling School, 2007".

It is amazing how much you think you know about paddling, compared to what you have forgotten or don't know. It is well worth the time and money to hit that refresh mentality every year. Find a club close to you to keep you up to date.

I have an inflatable, Stearns Spree-One, recreational kayak and use about a 2 lb. Paddle. The first couple of miles were no problem.

Then it started to get to me, I was tired. It became a lot of work. Now my research started.

One of the instructors, Jerry, let me use his paddle. His was in the ounces, not lbs. It was, too, short, but the weight, what a difference.

Now, let's start with asking the right questions. Three things need to be considered when determining the paddle for you; One, what kind of paddling are you ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
