Storage bag
The storage bag has been designed to be easy to attach to a touring bag for your packrafting adventures.
Inside you will find two side sleeves to store the tubes and prevent them from clashing during transport, this will extend their life and protect you from the unwanted noise of tubes hitting one another.
How to assemble your paddle
Assemble the blades on the shaft tubes using the double push pins, then fit the tubes together using the latch closure system.
We use a latch system as well as double push pins to reduce the feeling of play between the sections as much as possible.
Leave the tube with markings inside the main tube with the latch system to avoid losing it.
If it is not fastened tightly enough, open the latch and tighten the metal screw.
How to change the size of your paddle
The adjustments depend on the kayaker and the vessel:
A short paddle for white water and narrow kayaks (< 60 cm wide).
*Short paddle = between 20 and 30 cm more than your height
A longer paddle for touring and wider kayaks (> 60 cm wide).
*Long paddle = between 30 and 40 cm more than your size
How to adjust the angle of your paddle
The adjustments depend on the kayaker, and the vessel:
Between 0° and 45° for white water, where quick movements and reactivity are necessary.
Between 45° and 90° for touring, where reduced windage is required to reduce the necessary effort.
If in doubt, just following your feeling...
