If you spend a lot of time out on the water in a kayak or canoe you know paddles can wear out your arms quickly. A lot of them are bulky, heavy and not adequately designed for long-term use. Adventure Technology has the fix for you.

 

AT paddles are ergonomic, lightweight and specifically designed for hours out on the water. Most of them are made of lightweight carbon construction with high fiber-to-resin ratios, making them more versatile and better capable of moving in the air and water.

 

They have paddles for multiple sports including kayaking, touring and fishing. The fiberglass construction of many of their models combined with ergonomically designed sports blades make them ideal for rough waters. They have paddles designed for every level of sporting.

 

Their Elite trim whitewater paddles are made with buoyant foam core blades while their advanced touring paddles offer great grip with straight shaft options. Each category contains at least three different designs tailored to the type of touring, kayaking or whitewater rafting you’re interested in. Many of them are now designed with a specially reinforced carbon shaft to prevent them from breaking under too much pressure.

 

They even make paddles for kids with push button ferrules. Prices of each paddle varies so be sure to check their website for more information.
