Kayaks & canoe paddles

Haven’t used a canoe paddle in 40 years but this weekend a canoe paddler was having trouble keeping the canoe straight so I swapped my AquaBound 230 for his Bending Branches bent paddle then cranked the old Kestrel to 4.3 mph in a straight line and paddled 25 miles with it. Although I don’t recommend it as a paddle of choice for a kayak…it was different.



Paddlin’ on

You’re half way to canoes, now!
Next week you’ll be using your kayak paddle in his canoe :slight_smile:



I’ve used my bent shaft canoe paddle in two of my sea kayaks and it works pretty well. I plan take it on many of my outings in the kayaks now.

you know what they say

"Half the paddle twice the man"--Bob Myron

I kid the local yakkers
paddling WW with “half the paddle, twice the boat…”

I tell 'em
half the paddle requires twice the skill.
