Long tours call for a lightweight blade set that allows for ridiculously efficient paddling at cruising speed. Namely, the Lendal KT650 CC Blade Set (650 square centimeters of pure paddle power).

The less sore your arms and wrists are, the more fun your tours will be. At least, that’s what Werner thought as it made the Camano 2-Piece Paddle. The dihedral (angled) blade design lets water flow off quickly for minimized flutter with each stroke, and the fiberglass ups durability without...

You love to paddle—morning outings, day trips, weeklong adventures—but you’d rather not have a paddle that feels like a barbell after twenty minutes of paddling. Aqua-Bound made the Sting Ray Carbon 2-Piece Paddle with a carbon shaft and carbon blades for a lightweight feel hour after hour.

A straight shaft on the Werner Camano 2-Piece Paddle means it’s easy to reposition your hands, and the fiberglass blades keep the cost down without sacrificing durability and stiffness. Your arms benefit from the low swing weight and your stroke smoothens thanks to the dihedral blade design (angled, so water...

Werner made the Corryvrecken 2-Piece Paddle for the powerful-stroke, high-angle paddler. The full-size, 710cm-squared blades enhance your water catch and the slight dihedral design minimizes flutter during forward strokes.
