In this video, we learn how to select your first kayak paddle. There are a few important considerations that will help ensure you get the right paddle.
When you are choosing a material of kayak paddle, if you go with something cheap you will end up with a paddle that is flimsy, heavy and has a higher chance of breaking. If you spend just a little bit more on your paddle you will have a paddle that you enjoy much more, is less fatiguing and will last you a much longer time. Looking for a paddle that has a carbon fiber shaft and a fiberglass-reinforced blade will make a big performance difference.
When you are choosing a kayak paddle size there are two main variables. First would be the width of the cockpit and the second would be the height of the paddler.
