When it comes to selecting a paddle, you’ll first need to determine what type of paddling you’ll be doing. For canoeing, a single-sided canoe paddle made of wood or fiberglass will provide propulsion. Be sure to choose a canoe paddle length that works well for your height and arm span. If you plan on canoeing in tandem, also be sure to get a pair of canoe paddles. If kayaking is your preference, select a double-bladed kayaking paddle. Kayaking paddles are typically made of fiberglass, but carbon models provide additional strength with less weight. You may want to consider a kayak paddle with a two-piece shaft for easier transport. If you’re looking for a high-quality paddle, Carlisle paddles are made to last for many seasons of fun on the water.
