Tough, economical, dependable, the NRS PTK Kayak Paddle delivers excellent performance, especially for beginning boaters and captains of inflatable and sit-on-top kayaks.
- Rugged ABS blade and aircraft-grade coated-aluminum shaft stand the test of whitewater action
- The cupped blade design gives a smooth, efficient catch with every paddle stroke
- Shaft with oval indexing tells you right where the blade is in the water
- The longer lengths are perfect for wider boats
- Mid-size blade design pulls smoothly through the water and the shaft is indexed for easy control
- Feather: Also called “offset.” The difference in angle between the two blades of a kayak paddle. Some paddles have a fixed feather, while others are adjustable. Degree of feather is a matter of personal preference
- Control: When paddling, one hand keeps its grip on the paddle and the other rotates around the shaft. The grip hand is your “control” hand. Some paddles can be custom ordered with left-hand control
