Ainsworth Ocean kayak paddle

+OCEAN (Poly Carb) Two Piece Glass Adjustable

OCEAN high angle paddle 

This high angled paddle is the ultimate power machine, designed specifically to move water fast, in either touring or racing, these large, teardrop-shaped blades with fine edges help conserve your energy while covering the ground. Perfect for those long days out at sea.

POLY CARB

Ainsworth uses a super tough PolyCarbonate composite injection moulded construction for superb durability and performance to give a strong, all-round paddle. Launched in 2014, the material strength is over double the strength of the nylon 12 used in many other nylon paddles at this price point. Ainsworths PolyCarbonate blade is much stiffer than other nylon paddles. The shaft is pressed into the blades with hydraulic pressure to a depth of 10cm, ensuring a watertight joint and a continuous feel from shaft to blade tip. The high strength of the material means that the blade can be made lighter than other paddles that use a Nylon construction.

Two-Piece Glass Straight Shaft

The two-piece shaft is the same construction as the straight glass shaft and split in the centre using a cam and lever which clamps onto a smaller diameter spigot made from the same shaft material.

The overall adjustment offers a 10cm telescopic extension along with a full range of feather angles both left and right-handed. A truly completely adjustable and simple system.

Length
The most important factors in choosing the length for your paddle are your height and the type of canoeing you'll be doing.
